Description
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in Newtec/iDirect NTC2218, NTC2250, NTC2299 on Linux, PowerPC, ARM allows Local Code Inclusion.This issue affects NTC2218, NTC2250, NTC2299: from 1.0.1.1 through 2.2.6.19. The `commit_multicast` page used to configure multicasts in the modem's web administration interface uses improperly parses incoming data from the request before passing it to an `eval` statement in a bash script. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands.
