HighMetricsAV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
TP-Link AC1750 versions prior to 1.1.4 Build 20211022 rel.59103(5553)
Description
This issue allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of TP-Link AC1750 routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this issue. The specific flaw exists within the
NetUSB.ko module, resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this issue to execute code in the context of root.Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.1.4 Build 20211022 rel.59103(5553), consider updating to a version that includes the fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
NetUSB.ko module until a patch is available. Restrict access to the router to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
