Router crash via unchecked deviceList string copy
Published Aug 20, 2025 · Updated Aug 20, 2025
A stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AC6 firmware 15.03.06.23 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted HTTP request. The formSetMacFilterCfg handler passes an unchecked deviceList value through its parsing chain to strcpy, which copies the string without a length bound. No authentication or user interaction is required; the published assessment limits the demonstrated consequence to a router crash.
