What is CVE-2021-40546?

The Tenda AC6 router is susceptible to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition due to an improperly validated parameter in the device's firmware. If an attacker, having access to the administrator password, sends an excessively long string to the 'wifiPwd_5G' parameter through the /goform/setWifi interface, it can lead to a device crash, rendering the router temporarily unusable. This vulnerability can be exploited to significantly disrupt network services, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding administrator credentials and promptly updating firmware.
