Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the 'fromNatlimit' function within the /goform/Natlimit component of Tenda F451 firmware versions 1.0.0.7 and 1.0.0.9. The root cause is the use of the unsafe 'sprintf' function to copy the user-controlled 'page' POST parameter into a fixed-size 256-byte stack buffer without length validation. A remote attacker with low privileges (access to the web interface) can exploit this by sending an overly long string in the 'page' parameter. Successful exploitation can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) or Remote Code Execution (RCE). A public proof-of-concept exploit is available.
