CVE-2014-125117
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the my_cgi.cgi component of certain D-Link devices, including the DSP-W215 version 1.02, can be exploited via a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the /common/info.cgi endpoint.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.03%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
