Remote code execution via reboot_type stack overflow
Published Dec 30, 2022 · Updated Apr 11, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-755AP 1.13B01 allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted reboot_type parameter. The wizard_ipv6 function at sub_41C380 accepts an oversized reboot_type value and overflows a stack buffer. No authentication or user interaction is required over the network, and successful exploitation grants control of the access point and its operating system.
