Description
Tenda CP3 V3.0 firmware V31.1.9.91 does not validate the Content-Length header field in RTSP requests (including DESCRIBE, SETUP, and PLAY methods). When a request carrying a Content-Length header is received without a corresponding message body, the RTSP parser enters a persistent body-awaiting state, causing the affected TCP connection to become permanently non-functional. The device does not actively close the connection, resulting in a TCP resource leak. This issue can be exploited by an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition.

Impact

Tenda CP3 V3.0 routers running firmware V31.1.9.91 do not validate the Content-Length header in RTSP requests such as DESCRIBE, SETUP, and PLAY. When a request includes this header but carries no message body, the RTSP parser enters a persistent body‑awaiting state, leaving the TCP connection permanently non‑functional and leaking socket resources. This flaw represents uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE‑400) and a failure to terminate the connection (CWE‑703), allowing an attacker to force a denial‑of‑service condition.

Affected Systems

Only the Tenda CP3 V3.0 router with firmware revision V31.1.9.91 is affected; no other vendors, products, or firmware versions are listed in the CVE record.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating high severity. Its EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low likelihood of exploitation in the wild, and it is not included in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is remote and unauthenticated, relying on standard RTSP traffic; an attacker can send a crafted RTSP request carrying a Content-Length header but no body to exhaust the router’s TCP connection pool and render the RTSP service permanently unusable.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Tenda CP3 firmware update that fixes the RTSP Content‑Length handling bug.
  • If an immediate firmware upgrade is not possible, block or rate‑limit inbound RTSP traffic from untrusted sources to prevent resource exhaustion.
  • Monitor the router for repeated connection failures or degraded RTSP performance and perform periodic reboots or implement a timeout for stuck TCP connections.
