Unauthenticated code execution via signed-length heap overflow
Published Oct 3, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in DrayTek Vigor310 through 4.3.2.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted DNS input. The ft_payload_dns() function sign-extends a one-byte length before passing it to _memcpy, turning the value into an oversized heap write. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation executes attacker-controlled code on the router.
