Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) service of Tenda CP3 V3.0 firmware V31.1.9.91. The vulnerability is located in the processing of the 'Range' header field within a PLAY request, specifically due to a lack of length validation for the 'clock=' value. An unauthenticated remote attacker who has established a standard RTSP session handshake can trigger the overflow by providing an oversized string. This leads to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by crashing the RTSP service. While the advisory focuses on the crash, stack overflows can sometimes lead to remote code execution depending on device protections.
