CWE ID Description
CWE-119 The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
CWE-121 A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-822A A_101 firmware. It occurs in the strcpy function of the udhcpcd/serverpacket.c file within the udhcpcd component. The flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted input, potentially leading to system compromise.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves a stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-822A A_101 due to a strcpy function in udhcpcd/serverpacket.c. Detection requires checking for vulnerable firmware versions and monitoring network traffic for exploit attempts targeting udhcpcd.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow remote attackers to take control of your D-Link DIR-822A router. They could execute malicious code, steal data, install malware, or disrupt network operations. Since the attack is remote, it does not require physical access to the device.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows remote code execution via stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-822A, which could lead to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or manipulation. This may violate GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements (Articles 32, 5) and HIPAA's security rule (45 CFR Β§164.308, Β§164.312) if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the D-Link DIR-822A firmware to the latest version to patch the vulnerability in the udhcpcd component. If no update is available, consider replacing the device as it is affected by a remotely exploitable stack-based buffer overflow.
