Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Tenda AC7 firmware version v15.03.06.44. The vulnerability is located in the check_param_changed method, which processes the wanSpeed parameter from the /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan route. The application uses the unsafe strcpy function to copy user-controlled input into a fixed-size stack buffer without proper bounds checking. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request to the router's web interface, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition or arbitrary code execution (RCE) with elevated privileges.
