What is CVE-2018-8072?
CVE-2018-8072 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in n/a, published on 26 Apr 2018. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An issue was discovered on EDIMAX IC-3140W through 3.06, IC-5150W through 3.09, and IC-6220DC through 3.06 devices. The ipcam_cgi binary contains a stack-based buffer overflow that is possible to trigger from a remote unauthenticated /camera-cgi/public/getsysyeminfo.cgi?action=VALUE_HERE HTTP request: if the VALUE_HERE length is more than 0x400 (1024), it is possible to overwrite other values located on the stack due to an incorrect use of the strcpy() function.
