Technical details

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows exist in the 'fromVirtualSer' CGI handler of the Tenda O3 router (firmware v1.0.0.5). The vulnerability is located in the 'fromVirtualSer' function, where user-supplied parameters (puVar2, puVar1, __s2, __s1_00, and puVar3) are retrieved via 'websGetVar' and subsequently passed to 'sprintf' without length validation. An attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted HTTP request with overly long strings in these parameters to overwrite the stack. While the primary reported impact is a Denial of Service (DoS) through device crashes, stack exhaustion of this nature often carries a risk of arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is reachable over the network via the web management interface.
