Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-121) exists in the Tenda F1202 router firmware version 1.2.0.20(408). The flaw is located within the 'formGstDhcpSetSer' function in the '/goform/GstDhcpSetSer' component (noted as GstDhcpSetSerof in some reports). The vulnerability is triggered by insufficient length validation of the 'dips' argument, which is processed via unsafe string operations. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the device's web interface. Successful exploitation can lead to a denial of service (DoS) or remote code execution (RCE). Public exploit details have been disclosed.
