Technical details

A resource exhaustion vulnerability (CWE-400) exists in the 'miniupnpd' daemon (specifically version 1.8) within Shibby Tomato firmware 1.28. The vulnerability is located in the HTTP request buffering logic within 'usr/sbin/miniupnpd'. The daemon uses realloc() to extend a heap-backed buffer as it receives HTTP headers and POST bodies, but it fails to enforce a maximum request size limit. An unauthenticated attacker on the LAN can exploit this by sending incomplete HTTP headers or large 'Content-Length' headers followed by partial bodies, leading to continuous heap growth and eventual denial of service. While the project is superseded by FreshTomato, this legacy version remains vulnerable.
