CVE-2023-51454
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA Out-of-bounds Write issue affecting the v2_sdk_service running on a set of DJI drone devices on the port 10000 could allow an attacker to overwrite a pointer in the process memory through a crafted payload triggering an unsafe memory write operation in the my_tcp_receive function implemented in the libv2_sdk.so library used by the dji_vtwo_sdk binary implementing the service, potentially leading to a memory information leak or to an arbitrary code execution. Affected models are Mavic 3 Pro until v01.01.0300, Mavic 3 until v01.00.1200, Mavic 3 Classic until v01.00.0500, Mavic 3 Enterprise until v07.01.10.03, Matrice 300 until v57.00.01.00, Matrice M30 until v07.01.0022 and Mini 3 Pro until v01.00.0620.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAn out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the my_tcp_receive function of libv2_sdk.so (used by dji_vtwo_sdk) allows remote attackers on the local network to overwrite memory pointers via crafted packets on port 10000. This can lead to memory information disclosure or arbitrary code execution on affected DJI drone models.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the vulnerable librarySearch the system for files named libv2_sdk.so or dji_vtwo_sdk components using file system queries (e.g., 'find / -name "libv2_sdk.so" 2>/dev/null' or similar directory listing commands)Affected if The library file exists on the system
-
Verify the service is activeCheck if any process or service related to dji_vtwo_sdk is running (e.g., via process listing commands like 'ps aux' or service status queries)Affected if A process using the vulnerable library is currently running
-
Check network exposure on port 10000Inspect listening network ports, specifically port 10000/tcp, using commands like 'netstat -tlnp' or 'ss -tlnp' to determine if the service is bound to network interfacesAffected if Port 10000 is open and listening on any network interface accessible to untrusted sources
-
Determine firmware or SDK versionIf the drone or associated software provides version information (check product documentation or system interfaces for firmware version display), compare the installed version against any vendor-published version thresholds for this CVEAffected if The firmware or SDK version is lower than the vendor-patched version (specific thresholds should be obtained from DJI security advisories)
A user is affected if the libv2_sdk.so library is present, the dji_vtwo_sdk service is running, port 10000 is exposed on the network, and the firmware version predates the vendor fix.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor firmware updates beyond the listed version thresholds for each affected model, and restrict network access to port 10000 using firewall rules or network segmentation to limit exposure.
