Authenticated memory corruption via reboot timer parsing
Published May 16, 2025 · Updated May 17, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC7 15.03.06.44 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory through reboot timer settings. The formSetRebootTimer handler passes the user-controlled rebootTime POST parameter to sscanf with the %d:%d format and stores the results in stack-resident end_hour and end_min variables without validating the input. Access to the web management interface is required, and exploitation can compromise router confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
