CVE-2022-30040Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Router reboot via unchecked NTP server copy

Published May 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Stack buffer overflow in Tenda AX1803 1.0.0.1_2890 allows remote attackers to reboot the router through a crafted time-setting request. The fromSetSysTime handler in /bin/tdhttpd copies the POSTed ntpServer value into a fixed-size stack buffer with strcpy and no length check. Network access to the management endpoint is sufficient; a value longer than 0x134 bytes overwrites the return address and restarts the device.
