D-Link DAP-2622 DDP Set Wireless Info Auth Username Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

CVE-2023-37324

What is CVE-2023-37324?

The D-Link DAP-2622 router is impacted by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability tied to the DDP (D-Link Discovery Protocol) service. This flaw allows network-adjacent attackers to exploit the vulnerability without the need for any form of authentication. The fundamental issue arises from insufficient validation of incoming user data, which can be copied to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability enables attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges, posing significant risks to the security and integrity of network management and connected devices.
