Code execution via unbounded CameraName stack copy
Published May 17, 2025 · Updated May 19, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in /bin/gpio in D-Link DCS-932L 2.18.01 allows remote authenticated users to execute code or crash the camera. The sub_404780 function reads CameraName from NVRAM and passes it to strcpy, which copies the value into a fixed-size stack variable without bounds checking. Reaching the flaw requires a route such as setSystemWizard to store CameraName; exploitation can take control of the camera or interrupt its service.
