Technical details

A vulnerability exists in the formWifiRadioSet CGI handler of the Tenda W3 router due to improper validation of the 'wl_radio' parameter. The handler retrieves this parameter via websGetVar and passes it to an internal function (FUN_004601a8), where it is converted to an integer using atoi() and used as an index for an array (local_414[local_438 * 10 + iVar1]). By providing an excessively large integer value for 'wl_radio', an attacker can trigger a buffer overread or stack overflow. This can be exploited via a network-reachable HTTP request without authentication, leading to a device crash or reboot (Denial of Service).
