Tenda CH22 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in PPTP User Settings

Vulnerability

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Tenda CH22 router, specifically in version 1.0.0.1. The issue arises in the 'fromPptpUserSetting' function within the '/goform/PPTPUserSetting' file. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate the 'delno' argument, leading to a buffer overflow condition. This flaw can be exploited to disrupt the router's normal operation, causing it to become unresponsive.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability causes a stack overflow, disrupting the router's operation and making it inaccessible.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to the '/goform/PPTPUserSetting' endpoint with a 'delno' parameter containing a payload of approximately 2024 bytes. This oversized input overwrites the return address on the stack, creating a buffer overflow condition.
