Memory corruption via unbounded CameraName copy
Published May 17, 2025 · Updated May 19, 2025
Stack-based overflow in D-Link DCS-932L 2.18.01 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory via a crafted CameraName value. An alphapd route such as setSystemWizard stores CameraName in NVRAM, and /sbin/udev SubUPnPCSInit later copies it into a stack variable with unbounded strcpy. Low-privileged network access is required; successful exploitation can compromise or interrupt the camera.
