Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in D-Link DCS-1100 and DCS-1130 (the affected version unknown) and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects the function sub_A098 of the file /sbin/orthrus of the component UPnP Connection Handler. The manipulation of the argument -f as part of a Parameter leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An issue was discovered on D-Link DCS-1100 and DCS-1130 devices. The binary orthrus in /sbin folder of the device handles all the UPnP connections received by the device. It seems that the binary performs a sprintf operation at address 0x0000A3E4 with the value in the command line parameter "-f" and stores it on the stack. Since there is no length check, this results in corrupting the registers for the function sub_A098 which results in memory corruption.

The weakness was disclosed 07/02/2019 as not defined mailinglist post (Bugtraq). The advisory is available at seclists.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2017-8414 since 05/02/2017. Local access is required to approach this attack. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 10/15/2023).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
