CVE-2021-25847

9.1 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability in Moxa VPort 06EC-2V Series IP cameras allows attackers to disclose sensitive information by sending specially crafted LLDP packets. Attackers can exploit improper validation of LLDP-MED TLV length fields to read memory contents. Only version 1.1 of these specific Moxa cameras is affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Moxa Camera VPort 06EC-2V Series
Versions: Version 1.1
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the LLDP daemon (vport_lldpd) running on these specific IP cameras

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete memory disclosure including credentials, configuration data, and potentially camera feed access

🟠

Likely Case

Information disclosure of sensitive camera configuration and network data

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper network segmentation and monitoring

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Directly exploitable via network packets without authentication
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Internal attackers can exploit via local network access

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires sending crafted LLDP packets to the camera's network interface

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Version 1.2 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://www.moxa.com/en/support/product-support/security-advisory/vport-06ec-2v-series-ip-cameras-vulnerabilities

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Download firmware version 1.2 or later from Moxa support site. 2. Upload firmware via web interface. 3. Reboot camera after installation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable LLDP

linux

Disable the LLDP service on affected cameras

ssh admin@camera-ip
systemctl stop vport_lldpd
systemctl disable vport_lldpd

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate cameras on separate VLAN with strict firewall rules

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Segment cameras on isolated network with strict firewall rules blocking LLDP traffic (UDP port 3780)
  • Implement network monitoring for anomalous LLDP packets targeting cameras

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check camera firmware version via web interface or SSH: cat /etc/version

Check Version:

cat /etc/version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version is 1.2 or higher and LLDP service is either updated or disabled

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual LLDP packet sizes or malformed LLDP traffic in network logs
  • Memory access errors in camera system logs

Network Indicators:

  • LLDP packets with abnormal TLV lengths sent to camera IPs
  • Unexpected outbound traffic from cameras after LLDP reception

SIEM Query:

source_ip=* AND dest_port=3780 AND packet_size>1500
