Remote code execution via unbounded curTime stack copy
Published Feb 10, 2023 · Updated Mar 24, 2025
Stack overflow in D-Link DIR-605L firmware 2.13B01 BETA allows remote attackers to execute code or crash the router via an HTTP POST. The boa HTTP server passes an arbitrarily long curTime value from a POST to /goform/formSetRoute into sprintf, copying it onto a fixed stack buffer without a length bound. The published proof of concept sends the request without logging in, and successful exploitation permits code execution or a router service interrupt.
