Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in Tenda AC15 firmware version 15.03.05.19_multi_TD01. The vulnerability is located within the 'fromSetIpMacBind' function, which fails to properly validate the length of the 'list' parameter provided in a POST request to '/goform/SetIpMacBind'. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending an oversized payload in the 'list' parameter, leading to memory corruption. While the reported impact is primarily service unavailability (DoS), stack overflows of this nature can potentially be leveraged for remote code execution (RCE). No official patch is currently noted in the advisory.
