Buffer Overflow vulnerability in UTT nv518G nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the gohead/sub_472f08 component
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in the UTT nv518G gateway/router (firmware nv518GV3 v3.2.7-210919-161313) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to crash the device by triggering a buffer overflow in the gohead web-service handler at function sub_472f08 (FUN_00472f08). The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 reflects availability-only impact (A:H, C:N/I:N) over the network with no privileges or user interaction. EPSS is low (0.22%, 13th percentile) and the CVE is not in CISA KEV; a third-party technical write-up exists on GitHub, but no active exploitation is confirmed.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is 'gohead', which is the embedded web server (a GoAhead-style HTTP daemon common on SOHO networking appliances) running on UTT's nv518G firmware; sub_472f08 / FUN_00472f08 is a decompiler-derived address for the request-handling routine that mishandles input length. The root cause is CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input, 'Classic Buffer Overflow'): attacker-controlled data is copied into a fixed-size stack or global buffer without bounds validation, corrupting adjacent memory and crashing the process. The CPE data is uninformative ('cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a') and does not identify the product, so affected-scope identification relies on the description and the vendor firmware string rather than a normalized CPE.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched firmware version is identified in the available data, so no exact fix version can be cited; check UTT's download center (https://utt.com.cn/downloadcenter.php?filetypeid=3&model=518G&lang=zhcn) for an updated 518G firmware image and apply it once released. As compensating controls, restrict access to the device's web management interface - do not expose the gohead HTTP/HTTPS management port to the internet or untrusted VLANs, and place management behind an ACL or VPN so only trusted admin hosts can reach it (trade-off: remote administration convenience is lost). Where feasible, front the device with an upstream firewall/IPS rule that rate-limits or drops malformed oversized requests to the management endpoint, and monitor for unexpected device reboots as an exploitation indicator. Because the flaw is a crash rather than code execution, an automatic-restart/watchdog policy limits outage duration but does not prevent the DoS.
