Authenticated memory corruption via rebootTime formatting
Published Aug 14, 2026 · Updated Aug 14, 2026
Buffer overflow in Tenda AC12 15.03.06.23_multi_TD01 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory via rebootTime. formSetRebootTimer parses the parameter with sscanf and passes the resulting integers to unbounded sprintf formatting into the 12-byte end_time buffer. Access to the web management interface is required; the published report does not demonstrate a specific post-corruption outcome.
