CVE-2021-20134 Information

Description

Quagga Services on D-Link DIR-2640 less than or equal to version 1.11B02 are affected by an absolute path traversal vulnerability that allows a remote authenticated attacker to set an arbitrary file on the router’s filesystem as the log file used by either Quagga service (zebra or ripd). Subsequent log messages will be appended to the file prefixed by a timestamp and some logging metadata. Remote code execution can be achieved by using this vulnerability to append to a shell script on the router’s filesystem and then awaiting or triggering the execution of that script. A remote unauthenticated root shell can easily be obtained on the device in this fashion.
