Router crash via oversized limitSpeedUp value
Published Dec 2, 2022 · Updated Apr 24, 2025
Buffer overflow in Tenda AC6 V1.0 firmware 15.03.05.19 allows remote attackers to crash the router through a crafted HTTP request. The formSetClientState handler in the httpd module accepts an oversized limitSpeedUp form value without enforcing a buffer-length bound. No credentials or user action are required; successful exploitation interrupts routing service by crashing the device.
