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_448384 component
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in the UTT nv518G gateway/router (firmware nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313) lets a remote attacker crash the device by sending crafted input to the gohead/sub_448384 (FUN_00448384) handler, triggering a stack-based buffer overflow. The CVSS 3.1 vector marks it network-reachable and unauthenticated with high availability impact but no confidentiality or integrity effect. Publicly available exploit code exists via a GitHub CVE report; there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score in the provided data.
Technical ContextAI
The UTT nv518G is an enterprise/SOHO gateway (router) from the Chinese vendor UTT (utt.com.cn). The affected component 'gohead' is the embedded web/management server (the naming strongly suggests a GoAhead-derived HTTP server common on such appliances), and sub_448384 / FUN_00448384 is a disassembled function address in the firmware binary that processes attacker-controlled request data. CWE-121 (stack-based buffer overflow) identifies the root cause: the function copies externally supplied data into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking, allowing the return address / adjacent stack memory to be corrupted and the process to crash. Because the impact profile is A:H with C:N/I:N, the reported effect is limited to service disruption rather than confirmed code execution.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis; the vendor advisory data only points to UTT's general download center (https://utt.com.cn/downloadcenter.php?filetypeid=3&model=518G&lang=zhcn), so administrators should check there for a firmware build newer than nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313 and apply it once available. As compensating controls, restrict reachability of the gohead management/web service by binding it to the LAN only and blocking WAN-side access to its HTTP(S) management port at the perimeter firewall (trade-off: remote administration must then be done via VPN); place the device management plane on a dedicated management VLAN with ACLs limiting access to trusted admin hosts (trade-off: added network configuration); and monitor for unexpected reboots/service restarts as a detection signal for exploitation attempts. Because the flaw is a DoS, these access restrictions meaningfully reduce exposure without functional loss to routing.
