CVE-2022-26259 is an unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow in the RTSP parsing logic of multiple Xiongmai DVR devices, including NBD80X16S-KL, NBD80X09S-KL, NBD80X08S-KL, NBD80X09RA-KL, AHB80X04R-MH, AHB80X04R-MH-V2, AHB80X04-R-MH-V3, AHB80N16T-GS, AHB80N32F4-LME, and NBD90S0VT-QW. The flaw is reachable over the network via the RTSP service on TCP port 554 by sending a crafted RTSP request. The provided content characterizes the issue as a stack-based overflow in RTSP parsing and notes that exploitation constraints include payload restrictions such as no null bytes and no space characters. Although the short description mentions denial of service, the supporting content states VulnCheck successfully developed remote code execution against affected Xiongmai test devices, indicating the overflow is exploitable beyond a crash condition on at least some firmware variants.
