Unauthenticated HTTP Login Stack Buffer Overflow in XiongMai uc-httpd 1.0.0
CVE-2018-10088 is a stack-based buffer overflow in XiongMai uc-httpd 1.0.0 affecting internet-exposed DVR/NVR/IP camera devices. The provided content identifies it as an unauthenticated remote overflow reachable via an HTTP login request, specifically involving the /login.htm handler. The issue is triggered by supplying an overlong value in login-related input, described in the source material as a remote HTTP login request stack-based buffer overflow. The content further notes public proof-of-concept code exists that sends an oversized username to /login.htm, although that commonly cited PoC is described as only crashing the target rather than reliably achieving code execution. Additional supporting material states the vulnerability has been associated with botnet exploitation and that at least one researcher developed an RCE exploit against affected XiongMai firmware.
