Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability (CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) affects X5000R Firmware. TOTOLINK X5000R V9.1.0cu.2415_B20250515 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The CGI reads the CONTENT_LENGTH environment variable and allocates memory using malloc (CONTENT_LENGTH + 1) without sufficient bounds checking. When lighttpd s request size limit is not enforced, a crafted large POST request can cause memory exhaustion or a segmentation fault, leading to a crash of the management CGI and loss of availability of the web interface.

Executive ViewAI
A high-severity vulnerability in X5000R firmware allows attackers to exhaust system resources, potentially causing service disruptions. Organizations running affected firmware versions should immediately assess their exposure and implement interim protections, as no vendor patch is currently available.
Implement network segmentation to limit device accessibility; deploy rate-limiting and connection throttling at network perimeter; enable resource consumption monitoring and alerting; disable unnecessary X5000R services/features if feasible; maintain incident response procedures for potential DoS events; consider WAF/IDS rules to detect resource exhaustion patterns.
