Tenda W3 Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in AutoPing Function

Vulnerability

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Tenda W3 router, specifically in version 1.0.0.3(2204). The issue arises in the 'formSetAutoPing' function within the '/goform/setAutoPing' endpoint, where the 'ping1' and 'ping2' POST parameters are processed. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a crafted request with an excessively long value for either 'ping1' or 'ping2', causing stack corruption that could lead to a crash and potentially allow for arbitrary code execution.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability causes a stack-based buffer overflow, which can corrupt the stack and potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to the '/goform/setAutoPing' endpoint with the 'linkEn' parameter set to '1' and either the 'ping1' or 'ping2' parameter filled with a long string. The request should be made without proper length validation, which will trigger the buffer overflow by overwriting the stack.
