NVD description

The TL-WR940N v6 router contains a vulnerability in its RTSP connection tracking module that can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. The issue occurs when a LAN client initiates a connection to a malicious RTSP server controlled by an attacker. A specially crafted RTSP message may trigger improper memory handling within the kernel module Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition or allow remote code execution (RCE), potentially leading to full compromise of the device. This vulnerability can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker under the device's default configuration.

    🚨 VULNERABILIDAD CRÍTICA EN ROUTERS TP-LINK. TP-Link ha publicado un aviso de seguridad sobre una vulnerabilidad de severidad alta en el router TL-WR940N V6, identificada como CVE-2026-12935, que permite a atacantes no autenticados provocar denegación de servicio o ejecutar código remoto en dispositivos vulnerables. 🔍 DETALLES TÉCNICOS El fallo reside en el módulo de seguimiento de conexiones (conntrack) para RTSP, protocolo usado en sesiones de streaming multimedia. Este módulo procesa tráfico RTSP dentro del kernel del router. Según TP-Link, la causa es un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila (stack-based buffer overflow), que ocurre cuando datos especialmente manipulados exceden la memoria asignada. ⚔️ VECTOR DE ATAQUE Un atacante puede desplegar un servidor RTSP malicioso y engañar a un dispositivo de la red local para que se conecte a él. Al recibir un mensaje RTSP malicioso, el módulo conntrack lo procesa incorrectamente, provocando corrupción de memoria en el kernel. Esto puede derivar en: ▪️ Caída del dispositivo (DoS) ▪️ Ejecución de código arbitrario ▪️ Alteración de configuración de red ▪️ Modificación de DNS ▪️ Instalación de malware persistente ▪️ Pivoteo hacia otros dispositivos de la LAN 📊 SEVERIDAD CVSS v4.0: 8.7/10 (Alto) Vector: red, baja complejidad, sin autenticación requerida Nota: requiere interacción del usuario (el cliente LAN debe conectarse al servidor RTSP malicioso) 🛠️ REMEDIACIÓN TP-Link confirmó que la vulnerabilidad afecta específicamente al hardware TL-WR940N V6. Firmwares corregidos disponibles: ▪️ (EN)_V6_260528 ▪️ (US)_V6_260528 ▪️ (JP)_V6_260527 Verificar versión de hardware y región antes de actualizar. Descargar únicamente desde el portal oficial de soporte de TP-Link. ✅ RECOMENDACIONES (ISO 27001 - Anexo A.8.8, A.8.9) ▪️ Aplicar actualización de firmware de inmediato. ▪️ Limitar conexiones RTSP salientes no necesarias desde la red local. ▪️ Monitorear tráfico RTSP inusual, reinicios inesperados o cambios de configuración. ▪️ Segmentar dispositivos IoT/streaming de la red corporativa.
