Authenticated memory corruption via oversized request URI
Published May 6, 2025 · Updated May 6, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DAP-1520 1.10B04_BETA02 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory via a long URI. The mod_graph_auth_uri_handler code in mod_graph_auth.so uses sprintf to copy URI-derived data into a stack buffer without a length bound. An authenticated HTTP request with an oversized path can crash the web service and corrupt process memory; code execution is not demonstrated.
