Description

A security flaw has been discovered in Tenda W20E 15.11.0.6(1068_1546_841)_CN_TDC. Impacted is the function formQOSRuleDel of the file /goform/delQos of the component QoS Rule Deletion. Performing a manipulation of the argument qosIndex results in stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.

KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-121 A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
CWE-119 The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in the Tenda W20E router firmware. It occurs in the formQOSRuleDel function when processing the qosIndex parameter. The flaw allows attackers to send a maliciously long qosIndex value, which overflows a fixed-size buffer due to improper length validation. This can lead to remote code execution or denial of service.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, monitor network traffic for HTTP requests to the /goform/delQos endpoint with unusually long qosIndex parameters. Check router logs for malformed requests targeting this function. Use network scanners to identify Tenda W20E devices running vulnerable firmware versions.

Impact Analysis

Remote attackers can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on the router or crash it, potentially disrupting network services. Since the router is internet-facing, the attack can originate from anywhere without user interaction.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability does not directly affect compliance with GDPR or HIPAA. However, if exploited, it could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches, which may violate these regulations depending on the data processed by the affected device.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Tenda W20E firmware to the latest version. Disable remote administration if not required. Block external access to the /goform/delQos endpoint via firewall rules. Monitor for suspicious activity and consider isolating affected devices until patched.
