AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
A buffer overflow in the authentication CGI of D-Link Go-RT-AC750 routers allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the device or achieve code execution.
Vulnerability
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the authenticationcgi_main function of D-Link Go-RT-AC750 routers running firmware versions GORTAC750_revA_v101b03 and GO-RT-AC750_revB_FWv200b02 [1]. The bug occurs when handling input data, and no authentication or prior access is required to reach the vulnerable code path [1].
Exploitation
An attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the router's authentication CGI endpoint without any prior authentication [1]. No user interaction or local access is needed; the attacker only requires network connectivity to the device [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to a buffer overflow, potentially causing a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution on the device [1]. Compromise could grant the attacker full control over the router, enabling further network attacks [1].
Mitigation
No fix or updated firmware has been released by D-Link as of the publication date (2022-08-15) [1]. Users are advised to monitor the vendor's security bulletin page for future updates [1].
