Service crash via unchecked wanMTU copy
Published Nov 10, 2025 · Updated Nov 18, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AX-1803 1.0.0.1 allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted wanMTU request. The fromAdvSetMacMtuWan handler obtains wanMTU through sub_4F55C and copies it with strcpy into the fixed-size v9 stack buffer without checking its length. No authentication or user interaction is required; an oversized parameter persistently interrupts router service rather than disclosing or altering data.
