Description
A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the U-SPEED N300 V1.0.0 wireless router. By sending a large number of concurrent HTTP requests to random or non-existent endpoints on the web management interface, an attacker can exhaust system resources in the embedded Boa HTTP server. This causes the router web interface to become unresponsive and may require manual reboot to restore normal operation.

AI Analysis

Impact

A high volume of concurrent HTTP requests targeted at the web management interface of the U‑SPEED N300 router overloads its embedded Boa HTTP server, rapidly exhausting memory and file descriptor resources. This resource exhaustion renders the web interface unresponsive, effectively denying administrators access to manage the device until a manual reboot restores service.

Affected Systems

U‑SPEED N300 wireless router, version V1.0.0, is the only product listed as affected by this denial‑of‑service flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability can be exercised remotely by any host that can reach the router’s management interface, without requiring authentication. An attacker can simply flood the interface with many concurrent requests to random or non‑existent endpoints, triggering the server to deplete its resources. The CVSS score of 7.5 reflects a high severity impact, while the EPSS metric is very low (<1%), indicating a small likelihood of exploitation, and the flaw is not in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting limited or no known active exploitation, though the risk remains if the router is exposed to untrusted networks.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the router’s firmware to a version that contains a fix for the Boa HTTP server resource exhaustion issue, if the vendor publishes an update.
  • If no firmware update is available, restrict the web management interface to a trusted internal network or a VPN, blocking direct HTTP access from untrusted sources.
  • Implement network‑level rate limiting or firewall rules to throttle excessive HTTP requests directed at the router’s management port, thereby reducing the likelihood of successful resource exhaustion.
  • Regularly monitor router logs for unusually high volumes of HTTP traffic and reboot the device proactively if sustained abuse is detected.
