Router crash via unchecked HTTP parameter copy
Published Jun 30, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Stack overflow in TP-Link Archer C50 and Archer A5 V5 firmware 200407 allows remote attackers to crash the router via crafted HTTP requests. The DM_fillobjbystr function in libcmm.so uses strncpy to copy an unchecked, attacker-controlled value into a 1,304-byte stack buffer. No account or user interaction is required, and an oversized management request crashes the affected process and interrupts router service.
