CVE-2025-65288 Details
Description
A buffer overflow in the Mercury MR816v2 (081C3114 4.8.7 Build 110427 Rel 36550n) occurs when the device accepts and stores excessively long hostnames from LAN hosts without proper length validation. The affected code performs unchecked copies/concatenations into fixed-size buffers. A crafted long hostname can overflow the buffer, cause a crash (DoS) and potentially enabling remote code execution.
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Mercury MR816v2 router, specifically in the firmware version 081C3114 4.8.7 Build 110427 Rel 36550n. This vulnerability arises when the device's DHCP service accepts excessively long hostnames from LAN clients without proper length validation. The lack of input validation allows crafted long hostnames to overflow fixed-size buffers, potentially leading to a crash of the DHCP service, causing a denial-of-service condition, and, depending on the memory layout, enabling remote code execution.
