Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in D-Link DI-8400 up to 16.07.26A1. This affects an unknown function of the file /dbsrv.asp. Performing a manipulation of the argument str results in stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is now public and may be used. The initial researcher advisory mentions contradicting parameter names to be affected.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DI-8400 routers through firmware 16.07.26A1 allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory by manipulating the 'str' parameter in /dbsrv.asp, potentially achieving code execution on the device. Publicly available exploit code exists, raising the practical risk despite the requirement for low-level privileges per the CVSS 4.0 vector. The original researcher advisory notes contradictory parameter names, introducing some uncertainty about the exact trigger field.
Technical ContextAI
The affected device is the D-Link DI-8400, a multi-WAN business router, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:d-link:di-8400 across all versions up to 16.07.26A1. The flaw is classified as CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), where input supplied to the 'str' argument of the /dbsrv.asp endpoint is written to a fixed-size stack buffer without proper bounds checking. Like many SOHO/SMB router web-management bugs, this stems from C-based ASP handlers in the embedded HTTP server copying user-controlled query/post data into local buffers via unsafe string functions, enabling overwrite of saved return addresses or adjacent stack data and likely leading to arbitrary code execution in the router's web management process.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the D-Link advisory page (https://www.dlink.com/) should be monitored for a firmware release superseding 16.07.26A1. As compensating controls, restrict access to the router's web management interface to a trusted management VLAN or specific admin workstations and disable any WAN-side (remote) management to eliminate the network attack surface - note that this prevents legitimate remote administration. Place the /dbsrv.asp endpoint behind a reverse proxy or WAF that enforces strict length limits on all request parameters (the researcher noted parameter-name ambiguity, so filter broadly rather than only on 'str'); the trade-off is added latency and potential breakage of legitimate management workflows. Rotate administrative credentials (PR:L exploitation requires a low-privilege account) and audit for unexpected admin accounts.
