Unauthenticated memory corruption via unbounded startIp parsing
Published Jun 28, 2026 · Updated Jun 28, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda JD12L 16.03.53.23 allows remote attackers to corrupt stack memory via a crafted startIp value. The formSetPPTPServer function passes startIp to sscanf with an unbounded %s conversion into a fixed-size stack buffer, so oversized input overwrites adjacent stack memory. No authentication is required; the published proof of concept demonstrates the crash trigger, while control-flow hijacking remains undemonstrated.
