Broadcom based cable modems across multiple vendors are vulnerable to a buffer overflow, which allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code at the kernel level via JavaScript run in a victim’s browser. Examples of affected products include Sagemcom F@st 3890 prior to 50.10.21_T4, Sagemcom F@st 3890 prior to 05.76.6.3f, Sagemcom F@st 3686 3.428.0, Sagemcom F@st 3686 4.83.0, NETGEAR CG3700EMR 2.01.05, NETGEAR CG3700EMR 2.01.03, NETGEAR C6250EMR 2.01.05, NETGEAR C6250EMR 2.01.03, Technicolor TC7230 STEB 01.25, COMPAL 7284E 5.510.5.11, and COMPAL 7486E 5.510.5.11.

The web interface on the Technicolor TC7230 STEB 01.25 is vulnerable to DNS rebinding, which allows a remote attacker to configure the cable modem via JavaScript in a victim’s browser. The attacker can then configure the cable modem to port forward the modem’s internal TELNET server, allowing external access to a root shell.
