Authenticated memory corruption via unchecked POST path
Published Jun 20, 2025 · Updated Jun 23, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-825 2.03 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt httpd memory via a crafted POST path. The sub_4091AC handler appends the requested path to /www/ with unbounded strcat into a 14-byte stack buffer. Access to the HTTP management interface and valid credentials are required; the public demonstration establishes memory corruption, not code execution.
