- CWE-476 - NULL pointer dereference
Summary
A NULL
pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the HTTP request parsing
functionality of
TL-MR6400 v7. An unauthenticated remote attacker can
trigger the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request
containing a malformed session cookie header.
Successful
exploitation may cause the HTTP service process to crash, resulting in a
denial-of-service condition and temporary loss of management or CGI
functionality until service recovery.
