A vulnerability was found in D-Link DIR-882 1.01B02. Impacted is the function sprintf of the file prog.cgi of the component HNAP1 SetNetworkSettings Handler. The manipulation of the argument IPAddress results in os command injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of multiple D-Link routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the lighttpd service, which listens on TCP port 80 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root.
