CVE-2023-34365Network attack vector

Pre-authentication memory corruption via oversized NVRAM key

Published Oct 11, 2023 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Stack-based buffer overflow in Yifan YF325 1.0_20221108 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory via a crafted NVRAM upload. The pre-authentication nvram.cgi path accepts a key length up to 255 and uses fread to copy that key into a 128-byte stack buffer in libutils.so's nvram_restore function. The request reaches the function without authentication or user interaction, and the published analysis does not demonstrate a specific post-overflow outcome.
