Linksys · Linksys E8450 · CVE-2024-57543
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linksys E8450 version 1.2.00.360516
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linksys E8450 Wi-Fi router's firmware. This vulnerability is caused by the lack of size verification when copying input data, specifically in the `dhcpstart ip` field, which is then copied to the stack. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For version 1.2.00.360516, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable `dhcpstart ip` field until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
