Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the 'formSetCfm' CGI handler of the Tenda W3 router. The vulnerability is located within the 'save_list_data' function, which is called when the 'funcname' parameter is set to 'save_list_data'. The root cause is an unsafe 'sprintf' call (sprintf(acStack_154, "%s.listnum", param_1)) that processes the user-controlled 'funcpara1' parameter without length validation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted HTTP request to the 'setcfm' endpoint, leading to a crash of the web service or the entire device (Denial of Service). While primarily a DoS risk, stack overflows of this nature may potentially allow for arbitrary code execution.
