CVE-2025-63464

7.5 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes a stack overflow vulnerability in Totolink LR350 routers via the ssid parameter. Attackers can exploit this to cause Denial of Service (DoS) through crafted requests. Users of Totolink LR350 routers with the affected firmware are vulnerable.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Totolink LR350
Versions: v9.3.5u.6369_B20220309
Operating Systems: Embedded router OS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the specific firmware version mentioned; other versions may also be vulnerable but unconfirmed

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete router crash requiring physical reboot, potential remote code execution if stack overflow can be controlled precisely

🟠

Likely Case

Router becomes unresponsive, requiring reboot to restore functionality

🟢

If Mitigated

Minimal impact if router is behind firewall with restricted WAN access

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Routers are typically internet-facing devices
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Could be exploited from internal network if attacker gains access

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public GitHub repository contains exploit details; DoS exploitation is straightforward

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Unknown

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check Totolink website for firmware updates
2. Download latest firmware for LR350
3. Access router admin interface
4. Navigate to firmware upgrade section
5. Upload and apply new firmware
6. Reboot router

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Restrict WAN access

linux

Block external access to router management interface

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

Disable remote management

all

Turn off remote administration features

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate router on separate network segment
  • Implement network monitoring for abnormal requests to ssid parameter

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check router firmware version in admin interface under System Status or Firmware Upgrade section

Check Version:

curl -s http://router-ip/cgi-bin/luci/ | grep firmware

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has changed from v9.3.5u.6369_B20220309 to newer version

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple connection attempts to router management interface
  • Router crash/reboot events in system logs

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual HTTP POST requests containing long ssid parameters
  • Traffic patterns indicating DoS attempts

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (event="crash" OR event="reboot") AND device_model="LR350"
