CVE-2023-40845Network attack vector

Memory corruption via unchecked parameter lengths

Published Aug 30, 2023 · Updated Oct 1, 2024

Out-of-bounds write in Tenda AC6 firmware 1.0.0BR_V15.03.05.16_multi_TD01.bin allows remote attackers to corrupt memory via network input. The firmware's sub_34FD0 function passes user-controlled parameters onward without checking their lengths, permitting writes beyond a destination buffer. No authentication or user interaction is required; public sources identify memory corruption but no tested crash or code-execution outcome.
