CVE-2017-15613_to_CVE-2017-15637.txt

Multiple vulnerabilities in TP-Link products(CVE-2017-15613 to CVE-2017-15637)


Introduction:
================
The WVR-, WAR- and ER- products are the SOHO/WIFI routers of TP-Link.
These issues allow remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary commands via command injection through different variables of different lua files. 
If the attacker obtains the account and password of the router, then he can execute the arbitrary command through this command injection vulnerability. 
These vulnerabilities can be triggered in LAN and WAN(if the "remote management" function is enabled).


Vulnerability Type:
================
Command Injection (Authenticated)

================
We has tested these vulnerabilities on TL-WVR450L(the latest version is TL-WVR450L V1.0161125) and TL-WVR900G(TL-WVR900G V3.0_170306).

Vulnerability detail:
================
These vulnerability are caused by the similar reason, so here is an explanation of CVE-2017-15616. 
Other vulnerabilities can be reproduced with the detail descriptions of the variable and lua file.

In /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/phddns.lua file, line 113:
***********************************
function add_phddns(http_form)
    local form_data = json.decode(http_form.data)
    local jdata = form_data.params.new

    ret = form:insert(CONFIG_NAME, "phddns", jdata, RULE_KEYS, nil)

    if not ret then
        return false, err.ERR_COM_TABLE_ITEM_UCI_ADD
    end

    if not uci_r:commit(CONFIG_NAME) then
        return false, err.ERR_COM_UCI_COMMIT
    end

        -- add the ref of interface
    ifs.update_if_reference(jdata.interface, 1)

    sys.fork_exec('/etc/init.d/phddns restart')
    userconfig.cfg_modify()

    return jdata
end
***********************************
This file will process a POST request from the web management panel with url "ip/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=xxx/admin/phddns?form=phddns". 
The interface argument passed by the POST request can be set with the malformed command payload and the lua file didn't check the argument sufficiently. 
Then the malformed value of "interface" argument causes the command injection vulnerability.
