What does Misfortune Cookie have to do with TR-069?

We began this research by surveying client-side implementations of TR-069 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR-069> (CWMP), after noticing the extreme 
prevalence <https://zmap.io/paper.pdf%22> of endpoints listening on the default 
CWMP Connection-Request port (7547), second only to HTTP (port 80) listening 
endpoints. Misfortune Cookie was uncovered during the examination of RomPager - 
the most popular recognized service on this port.


Is this a problem with the TR-069 protocol specification?

While the proliferation of devices managed by TR-069 is responsible for 
creating a very large vulnerable client population, Misfortune Cookie is not a 
vulnerability related to the TR-069/CWMP per se. Misfortune Cookie affects any 
implementation of a service using the old version of RomPager’s HTTP parsing 
code, on port 80, 8080, 443, 7547, and others.
