Router service crash via unchecked wanSpeed2 copy
Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Jan 13, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda AX-3 firmware 16.03.12.10_CN allows remote attackers to crash the router via a crafted HTTP request. fromAdvSetMacMtuWan reads wanSpeed2 from the request and passes it to strcpy for an undersized stack buffer without checking its length. The HTTP endpoint requires no authentication or user interaction, and the demonstrated consequence is persistent loss of router service.
