Unauthenticated memory corruption via crafted DDNS password
Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-853 A1 1.20B07 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory via a crafted DDNS password. The disclosure locates the overflow in SetDynamicDNSSettings and identifies Password as the input, but does not publish the failing copy operation or missing bounds check. Network access without authentication or user interaction is sufficient; public sources establish neither command execution nor a reliable crash.
