Technical Description

A vulnerability has been identified in various D-Link routers, which could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of an affected device. This flaw is due to a stack overflow error in the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) service when handling an overly long "M-SEARCH" request (port 1900/UDP), which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
