CVE-2026-86296 is a stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DIR-822A firmware A_101. The flaw affects the udhcpcd component's processing of DHCP TR-111 Option 125 data in serverpacket.c, where an unchecked strcpy operation copies attacker-controlled input into a fixed-size stack buffer. An oversized Option 125 value can overwrite stack memory and reportedly enable remote code execution.

A remotely exploitable stack-based buffer overflow in the udhcpcd component of D-Link DIR-822A A_101, affecting strcpy in udhcpcd/serverpacket.c.
A remotely exploitable stack-based buffer overflow in the udhcpcd component of D-Link DIR-822A A_101, affecting strcpy in udhcpcd/serverpacket.c during TR-111 Option 125 parsing. The supplied CVSS vectors indicate network-accessible exploitation without privileges or user interaction and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
A critical unauthenticated remote code-execution vulnerability in the udhcpcd component of D-Link DIR-822A firmware A_101. Unsafe strcpy handling in serverpacket.c permits a crafted DHCP TR-111 Option 125 field to overflow a stack buffer and execute code as root.
