Persistent service crash via unbounded Name copy
Published Apr 28, 2026 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DI-8100 16.07.26A1 allows remote authenticated users to crash its HTTP service via a crafted Name parameter. The file_exten_asp CGI handler passes Name directly to sprintf without validating its length when opt is add or mod, overwriting its stack buffer and control data. A valid administrative session and remote access to file_exten.asp are required; the demonstrated crash persists until the device is rebooted.
