CVE-2022-42079Network attack vector

Unauthenticated denial of service via stack overflow

Published Oct 12, 2022 · Updated May 15, 2025

A stack overflow in Tenda AC1206 firmware US_AC1206V1.0RTL_V15.03.06.23_multi_TD01 allows remote attackers to interrupt router service via crafted WiFi settings input. The formWifiBasicSet function copies attacker-controlled request data into a stack buffer without adequate bounds checking, causing an out-of-bounds write. The network endpoint requires no authentication or user interaction; the published impact is service interruption, with no supported confidentiality or integrity impact.
