CWE-119Published: May 3, 2018· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
An issue was discovered on D-Link DSL-3782 EU 1.01 devices. An authenticated user can pass a long buffer as a 'read' parameter to the '/userfs/bin/tcapi' binary (in the Diagnostics component) using the 'read <node_name>' function and cause memory corruption. Furthermore, it is possible to redirect the flow of the program and execute arbitrary code.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2018-10713 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
