BT Home Hub - uuid Buffer Overflow

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/57243/info

BT Home Hub is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the affected application.

BT Home Hub 3.0b is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
