CVE-2026-121617 Details
Description
A security flaw has been discovered in Linksys E5600 1.1.0.26. Affected by this issue is the function init_multipart of the file /cgi-bin/upload_fw.cgi of the component Header Parser. The manipulation results in out-of-bounds write. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
An out-of-bounds write vulnerability has been identified in the Linksys E5600 router, specifically in the firmware version 1.1.0.26. The issue arises in the multipart/form-data header parser of the file upload handler located at '/cgi-bin/upload_fw.cgi'. The vulnerability allows for remote exploitation, where attacker-controlled data can be appended to a global buffer without proper bounds checking, leading to memory corruption and a verified crash of the CGI process.
