Router crash via oversized DHCP client list
Published Sep 13, 2024 · Updated Sep 13, 2024
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda FH451 Firmware 1.0.0.9 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted HTTP request. The fromDhcpListClient handler accepts an oversized list1 form value, overwrites the LISTEN stack pointer, and passes the corrupted pointer to atoi during a second loop. Network reachability to the management handler is required; the documented consequence is a crash and service interruption, with no reported data disclosure or modification.
