Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
An unauthenticated buffer overflow vulnerability exists in IEEE8021x_upload.cgi in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 V1.12 and earlier. The vulnerability is caused by insufficient bounds checking when parsing filename values in multipart upload data. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted upload request with overly long input, causing memory corruption and resulting in a denial of service.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 license-plate-capture devices (firmware V1.12 and earlier) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the device by sending a multipart upload request with an overly long filename to IEEE8021x_upload.cgi. The flaw is a classic stack/heap buffer overflow (CWE-120) with availability-only impact and no confidentiality or integrity loss. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component, IEEE8021x_upload.cgi, is a CGI endpoint in GeoVision's embedded camera/appliance web interface used to upload IEEE 802.1X certificate or configuration files. The vulnerability is a CWE-120 buffer copy without checking input size: the CGI parses the filename field of multipart/form-data upload payloads and copies it into a fixed-size buffer without validating length, allowing an attacker-controlled string to overrun adjacent memory. GeoVision GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211 are license plate capture/recognition camera appliances (CPE cpe:2.3:a:geovision_inc.:gv-lpclpc2011/2211), typically running a lightweight embedded HTTP server where a single CGI crash can take down the management service or the whole device.
RemediationAI
Apply the updated firmware released by GeoVision for the GV-LPC2011/GV-LPC2211 series as published on the vendor advisory at https://www.geovision.com.tw/cyber_security.php - no exact fixed version is specified in the available data, so confirm the patched build directly with GeoVision (no vendor-released patch version identified at time of analysis). As compensating controls until patched, remove the device web/management interface from internet exposure and restrict access to the management network or a VPN; block external access to the HTTP(S) management port and specifically restrict the IEEE8021x_upload.cgi endpoint via an upstream proxy or firewall ACL so untrusted clients cannot reach it. These controls reduce the remote attack surface but will also block legitimate remote administration and any 802.1X certificate upload workflow that relies on that endpoint, so plan management access accordingly.
