CVE-2025-1896
Published: 04 March 2025
Description
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-1896 is a critical buffer overflow vulnerability affecting the Tenda TX3 router on firmware version 16.03.13.11_multi. The flaw exists in unknown code within the /goform/SetStaticRouteCfg file, where manipulation of the argument list triggers the overflow. Published on 2025-03-04, it is associated with CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input).
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Attackers require low privileges (PR:L), such as those of an authenticated user, to initiate the attack. Exploitation leads to high availability impact (A:H) with no confidentiality or integrity effects, as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), potentially resulting in denial of service.
