CVE-2024-25753

Remote code execution via unchecked device name

Published Feb 22, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC9 3.0 firmware 15.03.06.42_multi allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via devName. The formSetDeviceName handler passes the user-supplied devName value onward without checking its length, allowing it to overrun a stack buffer. An unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network must submit a crafted request; successful exploitation executes code or interrupts service.
