When this occurs, the excess data can overwrite adjacent memory locations, causing erratic program behavior, including memory access errors, incorrect results, program termination, or a breach of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2024-46916-critical-vulnerability-in-diebold-nixdorf-vynamic-security-suite-allows-system-compromise\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"89297\">system security<\/a>.<br \/>\nIn the case of CVE-2025-57085, an attacker can send a specially crafted request to Tenda routers, causing a stack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-9779-totolink-a702r-buffer-overflow-vulnerability-in-the-function-sub-4162dc\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"85118\">overflow in the v17 parameter of the UploadCfg function<\/a>.
