CVE-2026-96891 is a critical remotely reachable out-of-bounds write in D-Link DIR-825 firmware 3.00b32. The flaw affects the rp-l2tp component's tunnel_set_params function, which insufficiently bounds attacker-controlled peer_hostname data. A crafted L2TP control-channel request can corrupt memory outside the intended buffer.
