Tenda AC8v4 stack overflow vulnerability (CVE-2024-57703)

CVE number – CVE-2024-57703

The Tenda AC8v4 V16.03.34.06 firmware has a stack overflow vulnerability in the setSchedWifi function.

The src variable receives the schedStartTime parameter from a POST request and is later assigned to the ptr+2 variable, which is fixed at 25 bytes.

However, since the user can control the input of schedStartTime, the statement strcpy((char *)ptr + 2, src); can cause a buffer overflow.

The user-provided schedStartTime can exceed the capacity of the dest array, triggering this security vulnerability.
