Memory corruption via unchecked download path copy
Published Apr 15, 2025 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in TOTOLINK A800R firmware 4.1.2cu.5137_B20200730 allows remote attackers to overwrite memory via downloadFile.cgi. The CGI handler copies a user-controlled download-path segment into a stack buffer without validating its length; a final segment longer than 132 bytes triggers the overflow. No authentication or user interaction is required, but the disclosure establishes memory corruption without demonstrating code execution or service interruption.
