Unauthenticated Telnet activation via stack buffer overflow
Published Feb 6, 2024 · Updated May 15, 2025
A stack-based buffer overflow in genacgi_main in D-Link Go-RT-AC750 firmware 101b03 allows remote attackers to enable Telnet. Public sources identify genacgi_main as the overflow locus but do not disclose the specific unsafe operation or affected request field. The network path requires no authentication or user interaction, and successful exploitation activates a remote administration service.
