Service crash via unbounded sprintf formatting
Published Aug 15, 2024 · Updated Mar 18, 2025
Stack overflow in Tenda FH1201 Firmware 1.2.0.14 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted POST request. The fromqossetting function passes the attacker-controlled page value to sprintf when formatting qos_list.asp?page=%s into a fixed-size stack array without a bounds check. No authentication or user interaction is required; the demonstrated consequence is service interruption rather than data access or modification.
