Description
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the TDDPv2 service (/usr/bin/tddp) on Deco M9 Plus due to insufficient validation of decrypted request data length before it is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer in the subtype 0x91 handler. Successful exploitation may allow an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service or achieve arbitrary code execution during the device setup phase through crafted TDDP packets.

Impact

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the TDDPv2 service ("/usr/bin/tddp") on Deco M9 Plus. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of the length of decrypted request data before it is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer in the subtype 0x91 handler. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw during the device setup phase by sending crafted TDDP packets, potentially causing a denial of service or enabling arbitrary code execution by manipulating the service.

Affected Systems

TP‑Link Systems Inc. Deco M9 Plus V2 is affected. No other vendors or product lines are listed, and the impact applies to the device’s firmware version(s) that contain the vulnerable TDDPv2 handler.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.7 indicates high severity, yet the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog. Attacks would need to target the device during its setup process before authentication, suggesting a remote and unauthenticated exploit path. If successful, the attacker could execute arbitrary code or crash the device, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Download and install the latest firmware update for Deco M9 Plus V2 from TP‑Link’s official support pages.
  • If an update is not immediately available, isolate the device from untrusted networks and disable or restrict TDDP traffic until a patch is applied.
  • Apply network‑level segmentation or firewall rules to limit the device’s exposure to untrusted traffic until the vulnerability is resolved.
