Description

This strike exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Belkin Wemo Smart Plug. Specifically a stack buffer overflow occurs inside the WemoApp libUPnPHndlr.so library. When an attacker sends a UPnP packet with a specially crafted EnergyPerUnitCostVersion field a crash may occur. It is possible to execute code remotely on the compromised device as the root user, and because the device uses UPnP it is also possible to use the device to attack and control other smart devices like TVs.
