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_416f28 component

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in the UTT nv518G gateway/router (firmware nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker crash the device by triggering a buffer overflow in the gohead web-service function sub_416f28 (FUN_00416f28). Publicly available exploit code exists (referenced PoC on GitHub), though the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV and EPSS scores it at just 0.22% (13th percentile), indicating low observed exploitation activity. Impact is limited to availability - no code execution or data exposure is claimed in the source data.

Technical ContextAI

The affected component is 'gohead', the embedded HTTP/management daemon on UTT's nv518G series gateway (a small-business router/VPN gateway from the Chinese vendor UTT, utt.com.cn). The vulnerable routine sub_416f28 (labeled FUN_00416f28 in the referenced Ghidra/IDA analysis) is reachable over the network and mishandles attacker-supplied input. The root cause is CWE-120, Classic Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Buffer Overflow') - data is copied into a fixed-size stack or heap buffer without bounds validation, corrupting adjacent memory and crashing the daemon. On embedded MIPS/ARM router firmware such overflows commonly halt the web management service or reboot the device rather than yield reliable control-flow hijack, which is consistent with the availability-only impact recorded here.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed firmware version is identified in the available data, so a specific upgrade target cannot be cited; monitor the UTT download center (https://utt.com.cn/downloadcenter.php?filetypeid=3&model=518G&lang=zhcn) for an updated nv518G firmware build superseding nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313. As compensating controls, restrict reachability of the gohead web management interface: bind management to the LAN only and block WAN/internet access to the device's HTTP(S) management port via an upstream firewall ACL (side effect - remote administration must then be done over a VPN or from the LAN), and apply source-IP allowlisting to the management interface so only trusted admin hosts can reach it (side effect - legitimate roaming admins are blocked until their address is added). Because the impact is a crash/reboot, also ensure the device is not the sole path for critical traffic and consider rate-limiting or dropping malformed requests at an upstream proxy. Consult the report at https://github.com/akuma-QAQ/CVEreport/tree/main/518G/FUN_00416f28 for the exact triggering request.
