This critical stack overflow vulnerability affects multiple Tenda router models via the fromDhcpListClient function. The high CVSS score indicates that an unauthenticated attacker can achieve remote code execution.
There are no known public exploits, and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV. It is remotely exploitable with low complexity.
Update the firmware on affected Tenda devices, including the F1202, FH1202, AC10, AC1206, AC7, AC5, and AC9 models.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-37717 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-787): Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities can lead to data corruption, crashes, or arbitrary code execution.
