CVE-2013-4977 describes a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in the RTSP Packet Handler of Hikvision DS-2CD7153-E IP cameras with firmware 4.1.0 b130111, and potentially other Hikvision devices. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a denial of service, causing the device to crash and reboot, and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted, long string in the Range header of an RTSP transaction. With a CVSS score of 10.0, this vulnerability is highly severe, requiring no authentication or complex attack vectors for exploitation, and carries a high risk of complete compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability). While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, exploit code is publicly available via ExploitDB (EDB-27402), though there is no evidence of widespread active exploitation or significant community discussion.
