🔥 A classic stack overflow is hiding in Tenda AC15’s fromAddressNat function, and it could spell disaster!

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the device, potentially leading to a complete denial of service. Imagine your home network being taken down with a single, clever maneuver, leaving you and your devices in the dark. This could affect everything connected to your router, making this a critical issue!
