Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the D-Link DIR-513 firmware version 1.10. The flaw is located within the 'formSetPassword' function in the '/goform/formSetPassword' file, which serves as a POST request handler. By manipulating the 'curTime' argument in a remote POST request, an authenticated attacker can overflow a memory buffer. This can lead to arbitrary code execution or a device crash. As the product is end-of-life (EOL), no patch is available, and public exploit code has been disclosed.
