Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2018-12-01 06:29 - Updated: 2026-06-17 01:58
Summary
An exploitable remote code execution vulnerability exists in the HTTP header-parsing function of the TP-Link TL-R600VPN HTTP Server. A specially crafted HTTP request can cause a buffer overflow, resulting in remote code execution on the device. An attacker can send an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
