Pre-Authentication NULL Pointer Dereference in UPnP SOAP State Variable Query Processing in TP-Link TL-WR841N

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in TL-WR841N v14 in the UPnP service when processing SOAP state variable query requests. A specially crafted SOAP query may trigger unexpected termination or instability of the process hosting the UPnP service. Successful exploitation may result in a denial-of-service condition affecting UPnP discovery, state query, or related management functionality until the affected process is restarted or the device is rebooted.
