Authenticated service interruption via oversized PPTP user list
Published Mar 4, 2025 · Updated Mar 4, 2025
Buffer overflow in Tenda TX3 16.03.13.11_multi allows remote authenticated users to crash the router via a crafted PPTP user list. The /goform/setPptpUserList handler copies the untrusted list parameter without adequately restricting its length, overrunning a memory buffer. Access to the management interface and a valid session are required; successful exploitation interrupts router availability.
