Technical details
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the 'httpd' binary of the Tenda F1202 router, specifically within the 'formWrlExtraSet' function in '/goform/WrlExtraSet'. The vulnerability is caused by a lack of length validation on user-supplied parameters (identified as 'delno' or 'GO') before they are processed by functions like 'sprintf'. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a specially crafted POST request containing an overly long string. Successful exploitation can lead to a crash of the web service (Denial of Service) or potentially remote code execution (RCE). A public exploit (PoC) is available.
