Summary		(es) En los routers TP-Link, Archer C5 y WR710N-V1, que ejecutan el último código disponible, al recibir autenticación básica HTTP, se puede enviar al servicio httpd un paquete manipulado que provoca un desbordamiento del almacenamiento dinámico. Esto puede resultar en un DoS (al bloquear el proceso httpd) o en la ejecución de código arbitrario.
