Description
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the RTSP service of Tenda CP3 V3.0 (firmware V31.1.9.91) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted second SETUP request. After completing the OPTIONS, DESCRIBE, and a legitimate first SETUP request to obtain a valid session ID, the RTSP service's second-stage URL routing parser fails to validate the length of the URL field in the subsequent SETUP request. By supplying a URL consisting of exactly four consecutive repetitions of a valid RTSP URL, an attacker can bypass first-stage format validation and trigger a stack buffer overflow, causing an immediate crash of the RTSP service process and rendering the device inaccessible to all clients on the local network.

Impact

A stack‑based buffer overflow exists in the RTSP service of the Tenda CP3 V3.0 firmware V31.1.9.91. The flaw is revealed after an unauthenticated attendee performs a normal OPTIONS, DESCRIBE, and first SETUP request to acquire a valid session ID, then sends a second SETUP request whose URL field contains four consecutive copies of a valid RTSP URL. Because the second‑stage URL parser does not validate the length of the URL field, the request overflows a stack buffer, causing the RTSP service process to crash. Splitting a single client’s request from other users, the process crash results in the router’s RTSP functionality becoming unavailable, effectively denying all local video‑streaming clients.

Affected Systems

Only the Tenda CP3 V3.0 router with firmware version V31.1.9.91 is affected. No other vendors or products are currently identified as impacted. The vulnerability is strictly limited to the RTSP component bundled in this firmware.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high impact, while the EPSS score of less than 1% demonstrates a very low probability of active exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector is remote and requires no authentication; any host that can reach the router’s RTSP interface can trigger the exploit by sending the malformed second SETUP request described above, causing the RTSP service to crash and denying service to all clients connected to the device’s RTSP interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and install a firmware update from Tenda that resolves the RTSP stack buffer overflow. If a fixed release is not yet available, monitor the vendor’s support portal for a patch announcement.
  • If a firmware update cannot be applied immediately, disable the RTSP service or block traffic on ports 554 and 8554 via the router’s firewall or access‑control rules to prevent the exploit from reaching the vulnerable component.
  • Enable logging on the RTSP interface and monitor for anomalous SETUP requests; configure alerts for repeated malformed requests to detect potential exploitation attempts.
