Unauthenticated memory corruption via IPTV VLAN parameter
Published Jan 10, 2024 · Updated Jun 20, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AX1803 firmware 1.0.0.1 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory using a crafted IPTV VLAN value. The setIptvInfo function accepts the adv.iptv.stballvlans parameter without enforcing stack-buffer bounds, allowing adjacent memory to be overwritten. No authentication or user interaction is required to reach the network path; resulting process corruption can interrupt router service or alter execution.
