Stack-based buffer overflow on the ASUS GT-AC5300 router through 3.0.0.4.38432738 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by setting a long shpath0 value and then sending an appGet.cgi?hook=selectlist("StoragexSharedPath") request, because ejselectlist in router/httpd/web.c uses strcpy.
