CVE-2024-42968Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Router crash via unbounded Go parameter copy

Published Aug 15, 2024 · Updated Aug 15, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda FH1206 02.03.01.35 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted POST request. The fromSafeUrlFilter function passes the user-controlled Go parameter to strcpy, which copies it into the fixed-size v11 stack array without a length check. Network access to the management endpoint is sufficient; successful exploitation interrupts routing availability without reported data disclosure or modification.
