1DescriptionNVD
ASUS RT-AX56U’s user profile configuration function is vulnerable to stack-based buffer overflow due to insufficient validation for parameter length. An unauthenticated LAN attacker can execute arbitrary code to perform arbitrary operations or disrupt service.
AnalysisAI
ASUS RT-AX56U’s user profile configuration function is vulnerable to stack-based buffer overflow due to insufficient validation for parameter length. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.8), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. ASUS RT-AX56U’s user profile configuration function is vulnerable to stack-based buffer overflow due to insufficient validation for parameter length. An unauthenticated LAN attacker can execute arbitrary code to perform arbitrary operations or disrupt service. Affected products include: Asus Rt-Ax56U Firmware.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
