CVE-2024-41596

Authenticated service interruption via unchecked CGI copy

Published Oct 3, 2024 · Updated Oct 3, 2024

Buffer overflow in the DrayTek Vigor3910 management UI through 4.3.2.6 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt device memory. A CGI handler reads the dnsserver POST value, calculates its length, and passes that unchecked length to _memcpy(), writing beyond a heap buffer. Low-privilege access from an adjacent network is required; the write can crash or reboot the router, while code execution was not tested for this variant.
