D-Link DCS-8300LHV2 RTSP ValidateAuthorizationHeader Nonce Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

CVE-2023-51624

What is CVE-2023-51624?

A vulnerability exists in D-Link DCS-8300LHV2 IP cameras where inadequate validation of the Authorization header by the RTSP server leads to a stack-based buffer overflow. This flaw, which occurs when the server, listening on TCP port 554, fails to check the length of user-supplied data before it is copied to a fixed-length buffer, allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code without authentication. The executed code runs in the context of the root user, posing significant security risks to affected installations.
