What is CVE-2018-17004?

A vulnerability has been identified in certain TP-Link TL-WR886N router models that allows authenticated attackers to exploit the device's handling of JSON data. By sending specially crafted long JSON data for wlan_access names, attackers can disrupt crucial router services such as inetd, HTTP, DNS, and UPnP, leading to a denial of service. This impacts the device's availability, making it imperative for users to evaluate their system configuration and implement necessary security measures.
