Multiple buffer overflows in the web interface on the D-Link DI-524 router allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via (1) a long username or (2) an HTTP header with a large name and an empty value.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
