Technical details

A classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) exists in the D-Link DI-8003 router, specifically within the firmware version 16.07.26A1. The vulnerability is located in the /router.asp endpoint and is caused by inadequate validation of the input size for the 'routes_static' parameter. An unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted network request to trigger the overflow. Successful exploitation results in a denial-of-service (DoS) by crashing the device. D-Link has stated that this model is End-of-Life (EOL) and no patches will be provided; users are recommended to retire the affected devices.
