Memory corruption via WAN password overflow
Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Mar 18, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-853 A1 firmware 1.20B07 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory via the Password parameter. SetWanSettings writes attacker-controlled Password data beyond the bounds of a stack buffer. No authentication or user interaction is required; public evidence does not establish whether the outcome is a crash or code execution.
