How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability in Tenda FH451 1.0.0.9 manifests in the function fromVirtualSer of the file /goform/VirtualSer. By manipulating the argument page, an attacker can cause a stack-based buffer overflow. This overflow can then be used to execute arbitrary code remotely, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage. The exploit does not require any user interaction or privileges, making it particularly dangerous.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. This HTTP request, when sent to the target host, could potentially cause a buffer overflow and execute malicious code:
POST /goform/VirtualSer HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
page=%n%n%n%n... (repeated until overflow occurs)To mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as possible. In the interim, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. However, these should not be considered long-term solutions in place of patching and updating the system.
