Exploitation Conditions

Requires network reachability to the router's HTTP management service and the ability to send a request to the formLogDnsquery handler with an oversized curTime parameter that overflows a stack buffer (CWE-121). The CVSS vector states no privileges or user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N), though this auth assumption is not independently confirmed from the sources. Exploitation is limited to the specific affected build (D-Link DIR-600L firmware 1.16WWb01 / FW116WWb01), an end-of-life consumer device, and documented impact is availability loss (service crash); escalation to code execution is not established. The precise trigger beyond 'oversized curTime' is not described in the available sources.

Impact

Signals are moderate and largely consistent. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 7.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw needing no privileges or user interaction, but with impact limited to availability only (C:N/I:N) - i.e. a denial-of-service against the router, not confirmed code execution, despite the CWE-121 stack-overflow classification. EPSS is low at 0.46% (40th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and the vuln.today Decision label is 'this_week' rather than act_now/emergency, so this is an address-promptly item, not an active-exploitation emergency. The practical ceiling on risk is the target itself: the DIR-600L is an end-of-life consumer router, so real-world exposure depends on how many such devices remain internet-facing. Note a tension worth verifying: the input vector asserts PR:N (unauthenticated) and A:H-only, yet a stack buffer overflow in an embedded web handler can in some cases enable code execution beyond simple DoS; the available sources do not describe the trigger in enough detail to confirm an RCE outcome, so the A:H-only impact should be treated as what is documented rather than a hard upper bound.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker who can reach the router's HTTP management interface sends a crafted request to the formLogDnsquery endpoint with an overlong curTime parameter, overflowing a stack buffer and crashing the service (availability impact). A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code; whether the overflow can be escalated to code execution is not established in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-600L firmware 1.16WWb01 allows remote attackers to crash the router's HTTP management service by sending an oversized curTime parameter to the formLogDnsquery handler. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) rates this 7.5 with high availability impact only; the PR:N/UI:N authentication assumptions are from the vector and are not independently confirmed, and documented impact is service availability loss rather than code execution. EPSS is 0.46% (40th percentile), a public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and the vuln.today priority label is this_week.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch is identified in the available data for D-Link DIR-600L firmware 1.16WWb01; the assessment describes the device as end-of-life, so replacement is the complete resolution if no firmware update is available. Until then, reduce exposure of the router's HTTP management service by blocking untrusted network access to it and avoiding WAN-side management exposure, recognizing the trade-off that remote administration will be unavailable; because exploitation requires a request to the formLogDnsquery handler with an oversized curTime parameter, restricting management access to trusted LAN hosts limits the attack surface.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CVE-2025-60570 is a CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-600L Ax firmware 1.16WWb01. The affected component is the router's HTTP management service, specifically the formLogDnsquery function, where the curTime parameter is copied into a stack buffer without sufficient bounds checking. The CPE cpe:2.3:o:dlink:dir-600l_firmware:1.16wwb01:*:*:*:*:*:*:* pins the issue to that firmware build. Exploitation requires network reachability to the management service and a request containing an oversized curTime value; the sources do not describe the precise trigger beyond that parameter, and escalation from a crash to code execution is not established.

DescriptionCVE.org

D-Link DIR600L Ax FW116WWb01 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow via the curTime parameter in the function formLogDnsquery.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-600L routers (firmware 1.16WWb01) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the HTTP management service, causing a denial-of-service condition. This affects organizations with these routers in their networks, potentially disrupting internet connectivity and remote management until devices are rebooted.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict management interface access to trusted IPs via firewall/ACLs, disable remote management if not required, segment affected devices from critical assets, and monitor for unusual service restarts or crashes.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
