CVE-2023-43868Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated router crash via unbounded parameter copy

Published Sep 28, 2023 · Updated Sep 23, 2024

Stack buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-619L B1 2.02 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted web parameter. In multiple web handlers, websGetVar accepts the curtime parameter and sprintf copies it into a stack buffer without enforcing a length limit. An unauthenticated attacker needs network access to the web management interface; successful exploitation interrupts routing service, while public evidence does not establish code execution.
