Description

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the libshared.so library of Cisco Linksys E1200 v2 routers (Firmware E1200_v2.0.11.001_us.tar.gz). The functions get_mac_from_ip and get_ip_from_mac use sscanf with overly permissive "%100s" format specifiers to parse entries from /proc/net/arp into fixed-size buffers (v6: 50 bytes, v7 sub-arrays: 50 bytes). This allows local attackers controlling the contents of /proc/net/arp to overflow stack buffers, leading to memory corruption, denial of service, or potential arbitrary code execution.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-60692 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the libshared.so library of Cisco Linksys E1200 v2 routers. The functions get_mac_from_ip and get_ip_from_mac use sscanf with "%100s" format specifiers to parse entries from /proc/net/arp into fixed-size buffers of 50 bytes. Because the format specifier allows reading up to 100 characters into a 50-byte buffer, a local attacker who can control the contents of /proc/net/arp can overflow these buffers, causing memory corruption. This may result in denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution on the affected device.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows a local attacker to cause memory corruption via a stack-based buffer overflow, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution on the affected router. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:H/I:H/A:H).

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided at this time. Until a patch is available, restrict local access to the device and monitor for suspicious activity related to /proc/net/arp manipulation.
