Description

An exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the UPnP implementation used by the Foscam C1 Indoor HD Camera running application firmware 2.52.2.43. A specially crafted UPnP discovery response can cause a buffer overflow resulting in overwriting arbitrary data. An attacker needs to be in the same subnetwork and reply to a discovery message to trigger this vulnerability.
