                    DIR-825 (v2.09EU Build: 09beta03) reference: /sbin/httpd
                    - Report #1: Stack overflow via strcat() at 0x4070e0 in do_file()

                    - Report #2: memcpy() at 0x408b50 copies user input into fixed size heap buffer and overflows it

Incident #2: Sejong University, Intelligence Security Lab. (ISEC)

                       Juhwan Kim, Ph.D. :: juhwan _at_ sju _dot_ ac _dot_ kr

                                Reported: 06/12/2024 :: Link to Public Disclosure

                      DIR-825 (H/W Rev. Bx F/W v2.10) stack-based buffer overflow

                     - Report #3: vulnerability found in the DIR-825 firmware, version Rev.B 2.10. This critical vulnerability is located within the /sbin/httpd file. It can be exploited to execute arbitrary code through the manipulation of the URI in the GET method of an HTTP request. A successful attack would enable the control of the registers $s0 to $s8, $ra, and $sp by sending a specially crafted HTTP request packet to the httpd process.

Accused Model

 ** H/W revision Jx is still available in some non-US regions, it is not affected by this vulnerability.

Recommendation for End of Support /End of Life Products

  
From time to time, D-Link will decide that some of its products have reached End of Support ("EOS") / End of Life (“EOL”). D-Link may choose to EOS/EOL a product due to evolution of technology, market demands,  new innovations, product efficiencies based on new technologies, or the product matures over time and should be replaced by functionally superior technology.

For US Consumer

If a product has reached End of Support ("EOS") / End of Life ("EOL"), there is normally no further extended support or development for it.

Typically for these products, D-Link will be unable to resolve device or firmware issues since all development and customer support has ceased. 

D-Link strongly recommends that this product be retired and cautions that any further use of this product may be a risk to devices connected to it. If US consumers continue to use these devices against D-Link's recommendation, please make sure the device has the most recent firmware, make sure you frequently update the device's unique password to access its web-configuration, and always have WIFI encryption enabled with a unique password.
