CVE-2024-10280Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote service crash via duplicate Content-Length headers

Published Oct 23, 2024 · Updated Oct 23, 2024

Null pointer dereference in Tenda router firmware allows remote attackers to crash the service through malformed HTTP headers. In websReadEvent, duplicate Content-Length headers reset the body length while a query remains set, leading strlen to dereference a null text pointer. Exploitation requires network reachability to the management HTTP service and interrupts availability without a documented data-access or modification impact.
