Authenticated memory corruption via unchecked IPsec number
Published Aug 31, 2025 · Updated Sep 2, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda CH22 firmware 1.0.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt httpd memory via ipsecno. The fromIpsecitem handler processes the attacker-controlled ipsecno value at /goform/IPSECsave without enforcing the destination stack buffer's bounds. Low-privileged access to the IPsec-save interface is required; successful exploitation corrupts process memory, with no published outcome beyond that.
