Unauthenticated denial of service via stack overflow
Published May 18, 2022 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Stack overflow in TOTOLINK A3100R firmware 4.1.2cu.5050_B20200504 and 4.1.2cu.5247_B20211129 allows remote attackers to cause denial of service. The firewall.so setParentalRules function copies startTime and endTime POST parameters with strcpy and sprintf without length checks, overflowing a stack buffer. A crafted request to the router CGI interface can crash or hang the service; the published assessment requires no authentication or user interaction.
