Unauthenticated memory corruption via downloadFile.cgi overflow
Published Apr 22, 2025 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
A stack-based buffer overflow in downloadFile.cgi in affected TOTOLINK router firmware allows remote attackers to corrupt device memory. Public sources identify the affected A830R, A950RG, A3000RU, and A3100R builds but do not disclose the request field or unchecked copy operation that overflows the stack buffer. No authentication or user interaction is required, but the public record does not demonstrate a specific post-corruption consequence.
