Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the Tenda AC7 router firmware version V15.03.06.44. The vulnerability is located within the 'check_param_changed' method, which processes the 'mac' parameter from the '/goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan' HTTP POST interface. The application uses the unsafe 'strcpy' function to copy user-supplied input into a fixed-size stack buffer without performing length validation. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending an oversized string in the 'mac' parameter, leading to memory corruption. This can result in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition or arbitrary code execution (RCE) with the privileges of the web server.
