A critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Tenda AC18 router with firmware version 15.03.05.05. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'devName' argument in the formSetDeviceName function within the /goform/SetOnlineDevName file. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely by crafting specially formed requests, leading to arbitrary code execution or unauthorized access.
