Persistent router failure via unchecked configuration copies
Published Mar 15, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025
Heap overflow in mydlink_api.ccp in D-Link DIR-820L A1 firmware 1.06B02 allows remote authenticated users to crash its web service. The sub_492A68 path copies config.log_to_syslog and log_opt_dropPackets values with strcpy into controllable heap storage without length checks. A valid web-session cookie is required, and oversized values overwrite configuration data, leaving router functions unavailable even after restart.
