What is CVE-2021-33317?

The TRENDnet TI-PG1284i switch, specifically hardware version 2.0R and prior to version 2.0.2.S0, is susceptible to a null pointer dereference vulnerability in its LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) component. This vulnerability arises from the failure to verify the presence of a ChassisID TLV in incoming packets. An attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted LLDP packets to the device, resulting in a crash of the device's process due to a null pointer dereference.
