Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the RTSP service of Tenda CP3 V3.0 (firmware V31.1.9.991) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted TEARDOWN request.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the RTSP service of Tenda CP3 V3.0 IP camera firmware V31.1.9.991. The vulnerability is triggered by a specially crafted TEARDOWN request sent to the RTSP service, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to overflow a stack-based buffer and cause a denial of service condition.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied firmware update for Tenda CP3 V3.0 when available. As an interim measure, restrict network access to the RTSP service (typically port 554) using firewall rules or network segmentation to prevent unauthenticated attackers from reaching the service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the device model
    Check the device label or access the web interface to confirm the model is Tenda CP3 V3.0 IP camera
    Affected if Device is not a Tenda CP3 V3.0 model
  2. Check the firmware version
    Access the camera's web interface (usually via HTTP on the local network) and navigate to System Settings or About page to view the firmware version. Alternatively, check via RTSP client or manufacturer utility.
    Affected if Firmware version is V31.1.9.991 (the affected version)
  3. Verify RTSP service is enabled
    Check the camera's settings for RTSP streaming functionality. This is typically found under Network Settings or Stream Settings in the web interface. RTSP is commonly enabled by default on IP cameras.
    Affected if RTSP service is enabled on the device
  4. Confirm RTSP port accessibility
    From an external or non-local network host, attempt to connect to the RTSP port (default 554) on the camera's IP address using a tool like telnet, netcat, or an RTSP client. Check if the port is responding.
    Affected if RTSP port 554 (or configured RTSP port) is accessible from an untrusted network
  5. Check for service response
    Send an OPTIONS or DESCRIBE RTSP request to the camera using a tool like curl or ffprobe: `ffprobe -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://<camera_ip>:554/`
    Affected if The RTSP service responds to requests (indicating it is running and reachable)

The user is affected if they have a Tenda CP3 V3.0 camera running firmware V31.1.9.991 with RTSP service enabled and accessible from a network where unauthenticated attackers can reach it.
