Authenticated code execution via unbounded error formatting
Published Feb 22, 2026 · Updated Feb 22, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda HG9 300001138 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code through IPv6 ping input. The formPing6 error path passes the user-controlled pingAddr value to sprintf when ping6 returns a “ping6: bad” error, overflowing a 512-byte stack buffer. Low-privileged web access and a malformed value exceeding the buffer are required; exploitation can crash httpd or overwrite its return address.
