CVE-2024-4497Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Memory corruption via unchecked cmdinput length

Published May 5, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda i21 1.0.0.14(4656) allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory through crafted cmdinput. The formexeCommand handler processes cmdinput without enforcing the capacity of its destination stack buffer. Network access to an authenticated management session is required; public evidence does not establish whether exploitation ends in a crash or code execution.
