CVE-2023-43860Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Denial of service via unchecked sprintf parameter

Published Sep 28, 2023 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-619L B1 2.02 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted curtime parameter. The unauthenticated formSetWanNonLogin handler retrieves curtime with websGetVar and passes it to sprintf without enforcing a length limit. Network access to the web interface is sufficient; published evidence demonstrates denial of service but does not establish code execution.
