DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was identified in Tenda F453 1.0.0.3. Affected by this vulnerability is the function fromGstDhcpSetSer of the file /goform/GstDhcpSetSer of the component httpd. The manipulation of the argument dips leads to buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability affecting Tenda F453 wireless routers allows remote attackers to compromise network infrastructure through the DHCP configuration interface. Organizations using this device model face immediate risk of network takeover, data interception, and potential lateral movement into corporate systems, with no vendor patch currently available.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls
  1. Disable the /goform/GstDhcpSetSer interface or restrict HTTP access to administrative networks only via firewall rules. 2) Implement network segmentation isolating these devices from sensitive systems. 3) Deploy IDS/IPS signatures detecting exploitation attempts on port 80/443 to these devices. 4) Restrict WAN access to device management interfaces. 5) Enable detailed logging and implement alert monitoring for any configuration changes to DHCP settings.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
