Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the D-Link DIR-605L device, specifically in the function formAdvNetwork within the POST Request Handler component. It occurs when the argument curTime is manipulated, leading to a buffer overflow condition. This buffer overflow can be exploited remotely.

The vulnerability affects only versions of the product that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

Impact Analysis

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a buffer overflow, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely on the affected device.

Given the high CVSS scores (up to 9.0 in version 2.0), the impact includes potential full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device.

Since the device is no longer supported, patches or fixes are unlikely, increasing the risk if the device remains in use.
