CVE-2022-41481Network attack vector

Unauthenticated router crash via unchecked request copy

Published Oct 13, 2022 · Updated May 15, 2025

Buffer overflow in Tenda AC6 V2.0 firmware 15.03.06.51 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted network request. The firmware function at address 0x47de1c copies request-controlled data into a buffer without verifying that the destination can hold it. No authentication or user interaction is required; the documented consequence is loss of availability, with no reported confidentiality or integrity impact.
