In this case, an attacker can press the password parameter too hard and bring down your router! With this vulnerability, an attacker could trigger a stack overflow, potentially leading to a complete denial of service. This means your router could crash, leaving your network vulnerable and disconnected while they have their way with it. Not an ideal scenario for anyone!
