Service crash via unchecked WAN parameter copy
Published Apr 2, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2024
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AX1803 firmware 1.0.0.1 allows remote attackers on an adjacent network to crash the router service. The WAN-settings request reaches sub_8C594, where strcpy copies a request parameter into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking. Exploitation requires two crafted HTTP requests, including selection of WAN type 2; the demonstrated consequence is an availability interruption.
