Description
A handling issue in the RTSP service of the Mercury MIPC252W 1.0.5 Build 230306 Rel.79931n allows an authenticated attacker to trigger session termination by repeatedly sending SETUP requests for the same media track within a single RTSP session. This causes the server to reset the RTSP connection, leading to a denial-of-service condition.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from a session handling flaw in the RTSP service of the Mercury MIPC252W camera. An attacker who has authenticated to the device can send a series of SETUP requests targeting the same media track within a single RTSP session. The server misprocesses this pattern, resetting the RTSP connection. This results in a denial‑of‑service condition that can interrupt live video streams or voice services. The weakness is categorized as uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE‑400).

Affected Systems

The flaw is present only in the Mercury MIPC252W camera model 1.0.5 Build 230306 Rel.79931n. No other product or version information is available from the CNA.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.4 indicates a low‑moderate impact. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited evidence of exploitation. The attack requires valid authentication to the RTSP service and the ability to send repeated SETUP requests; once the pattern is detected, the server will restart the session, creating a DoS. Because no patch is currently available, the risk remains present until a firmware update is released.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Configure network devices or firewall rules to rate‑limit SETUP requests per authenticated RTSP session, rejecting excess requests before they reach the camera.
  • Implement or enable high‑availability or load‑balancing for RTSP streams so that traffic can be redirected to a healthy instance if one device becomes unresponsive.
  • Establish monitoring and alerting on RTSP traffic to detect spikes in SETUP request frequency, and trigger automated session resets or temporary bans for offending clients.
  • Contact the manufacturer or check the product’s support portal regularly for a firmware update that corrects the RTSP session handling flaw.
