How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability resides in the AdvSetMacMtuWan function of the Tenda AC10 firmware. If manipulated, an attacker can induce a buffer overflow via cloneType2, which could allow arbitrary code execution or cause the system to crash. The attack can be initiated remotely over a network, without any user interaction, and requires only low-level privileges to execute.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:

POST /AdvSetMacMtuWan HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
cloneType2={ "malicious_payload": "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..."}

In the above example, the attacker sends an excessively long string in the “malicious_payload”, causing a buffer overflow in the AdvSetMacMtuWan function.
It’s recommended that all users apply the patch provided by the vendor as soon as possible or use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure until the patch can be applied.
