What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediately isolate affected Tenda M3 routers from untrusted networks, especially the internet, to prevent remote exploitation. 2. Implement strict firewall rules to block access to the /goform/setDhcpAP endpoint or restrict management interfaces to trusted IP addresses only. 3. Monitor network traffic for unusual requests targeting DHCP configuration endpoints and signs of exploitation attempts. 4. Disable remote management features on the router if not required to reduce the attack surface. 5. Regularly check for firmware updates from Tenda and apply patches as soon as they become available. 6. Consider replacing affected devices with alternative hardware if patches are delayed or unavailable. 7. Employ network segmentation to limit the impact of a compromised router on critical systems. 8. Conduct security awareness training for network administrators to recognize and respond to exploitation indicators. 9. Use intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) tuned to detect buffer overflow attempts targeting router management interfaces. 10. Maintain up-to-date backups of router configurations to enable rapid recovery if compromise occurs.

Description

A flaw has been found in Tenda M3 1.0.0.13(4903). The affected element is the function formSetRemoteDhcpForAp of the file /goform/setDhcpAP. This manipulation of the argument startip/endip/leasetime/gateway/dns1/dns2 causes stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.
