D-Link DIR-600L, Buffer Overflow, CVE-2025-4342 (Critical)

Listen to this Post

How CVE-2025-4342 Works

This vulnerability exploits a buffer overflow in the `formEasySetupWizard3` function of D-Link DIR-600L firmware (up to v2.07B01). The flaw occurs due to insufficient bounds checking when processing the `host` parameter, allowing an attacker to overwrite adjacent memory regions. Remote exploitation is possible by sending a crafted HTTP request containing an excessively long `host` value, leading to arbitrary code execution or device crash. Since the device is unsupported, no patches are available.

DailyCVE Form

Platform: D-Link DIR-600L
Version: ≤ 2.07B01
Vulnerability: Buffer Overflow
Severity: Critical
Date: 2025-05-13

What Undercode Say:

Exploitation

1. Craft malicious HTTP request:

curl -X POST http://<TARGET_IP>/formEasySetupWizard3 -d "host=$(python -c 'print("A"500)')"

2. Metasploit module (hypothetical):

exploit/unix/http/dlink_dir600l_buffer_overflow

Detection

1. Check firmware version:

grep "FW_VERSION" /etc/version

2. Log analysis for overflow attempts:

grep -i "formEasySetupWizard3" /var/log/httpd.log

Mitigation

1. Network segmentation:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP

2. Disable web interface:

/etc/init.d/httpd stop

Memory Analysis

1. Crash dump examination:

gdb -c /tmp/coredump /usr/sbin/httpd

2. Stack trace:
