Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 4 public exploits for CVE-2015-2797. PoCs published by Metasploit, Batuhan Burakcin, Bariskizilkaya, including Metasploit module exploits/linux/http/airties_login_cgi_bof.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Airties routers via a maliciously crafted HTTP POST request to the login CGI with an overly long redirect parameter. It achieves remote code execution by leveraging a cmdstager to deliver a payload, targeting MIPS big-endian architectures.

Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in AirTies Air 6372, 5760, 5750, 5650TT, 5453, 5444TT, 5443, 5442, 5343, 5342, 5341, and 5021 DSL modems with firmware 1.0.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the redirect parameter to cgi-bin/login.
