Web-service crash via unbounded nextPage copy
Published Mar 16, 2023 · Updated Feb 26, 2025
Stack overflow in pingV4Msg in D-Link DIR-820L A1 firmware 1.05B03 allows remote attackers to crash the web service via ping.ccp. The sub_49E5B0 function copies the nextPage request value into a fixed-size stack buffer with strcpy without checking its length. A POST request with ccp_act set to cancelPing reaches the vulnerable path; the demonstrated consequence is a web-service crash.
