How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability lies in the function fromGstDhcpSetSer of the file /goform/GstDhcpSetSer. The manipulation of the argument ‘dips’ leads to a stack-based buffer overflow. This overflow can result in the execution of arbitrary code due to the corruption of critical data structures. As it is possible to launch the exploit remotely, an attacker can compromise the system without requiring any user interaction.
Conceptual Example Code
A conceptual example demonstrating the exploitation of this vulnerability could look like this:
POST /goform/GstDhcpSetSer HTTP/1.1
Host: target_router_ip
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
dips=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...In the above example, the ‘dips’ argument is manipulated with a long string of ‘A’s causing a buffer overflow.
Mitigation
Tenda has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users are strongly urged to update their devices to the latest firmware version as soon as possible. For temporary mitigation, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used to detect and prevent attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, these are not long-term solutions, and the device’s firmware should be updated as soon as feasible.
