Descriptions

D-Link DIR-2640 HTTP Referer Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of D-Link DIR-2640-US routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within prog.cgi, which handles HNAP requests made to the lighttpd webserver listening on TCP ports 80 and 443. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-21853.

Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código de desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila de referencia HTTP D-Link DIR-2640. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes adyacentes a la red ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de enrutadores D-Link DIR-2640-US. No se requiere autenticación para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad. La falla específica existe dentro de prog.cgi, que maneja las solicitudes HNAP realizadas al servidor web lighttpd que escucha en los puertos TCP 80 y 443. El problema se debe a la falta de una validación adecuada de la longitud de los datos proporcionados por el usuario antes de copiarlos en un archivo fijo. -búfer basado en pila de longitud. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto de la raíz. Era ZDI-CAN-21853.
