CVE-2025-10034: D-Link DIR-825 Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Overview

  • CVE Identifier: CVE-2025-10034
  • Affected Device: D-Link DIR-825, firmware version 1.08.01 and earlier — these units are no longer supported by D-Link NVDCvetodo.
  • Vulnerability Type: Buffer overflow in the get_ping6_app_stat function of the ping6_response.cg file within the embedded httpd component. Manipulating the ping6_ipaddr argument enables unauthenticated, remote execution NVDCvetodoOpenCVE.
  • Severity:
  • Exploitability: Low complexity, no user interaction needed. The vulnerable process handles web interface requests, making this vulnerability easy to exploit remotely CvetodoFeedly.

Risk Summary

Impact AreaDescription
ConfidentialityHigh — data exposure or device compromise possible
IntegrityHigh — attacker can modify device configuration
AvailabilityHigh — device could crash or go offline
Device StatusEnd of support — no vendor patches available

Recommended Actions (Mitigation Strategies)

Since the DIR-825 is unsupported and patching is not currently available, here’s how to protect your network:

  1. Disable Remote Management
    Immediately turn off remote web interface access on the affected device CvetodoFeedly.
  2. Restrict Local Access
    Limit management access to trusted IP addresses only and enforce network segmentation to isolate the device.
  3. Deploy Network-Level Protections
    Use firewall rules to block incoming traffic on HTTP/HTTPS ports. Monitor for anomaly traffic to the device CvetodoFeedly.
  4. Upgrade or Replace Device
    The most effective long-term strategy is replacing the DIR-825 with a currently supported, secure router.
  5. Continuous Monitoring
    Add the device to your SIEM or IDS systems to detect exploitation attempts.

Context & Industry Insights

  • This router model being end-of-life makes it a prime target for attackers CvetodoGitHub.
