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 · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Totolink LR1200GB 9.1.0u.6619_B20230130. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects the function setIpPortFilterRules of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The manipulation of the argument sPort leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-250792. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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 confidence

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Totolink LR1200GB router firmware (v9.1.0u.6619_B20230130) in the setIpPortFilterRules function within /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The sPort argument is not properly validated before use, allowing an attacker to overflow the stack buffer via crafted HTTP requests and potentially achieve remote code execution with the privileges of the web server.

MitigationSince the vendor has not responded to the disclosure, immediately restrict network access to the device's web interface (port 80/443) using firewall rules or place the device behind a NAT/segmented network. Monitor for exploitation attempts and check periodically for firmware updates from Totolink.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify device model
    Access the router web interface or check device label/metadata to confirm the model is Totolink LR1200GB
    Affected if Device is not a Totolink LR1200GB, then not affected
  2. Check firmware version
    Log into the router web interface and navigate to the firmware/version information page, or use the command 'cat /etc/os.release' or 'ubootenv_get' via UART if accessible, to retrieve the installed firmware version
    Affected if Firmware version is 9.1.0u.6619_B20230130 exactly, then affected
  3. Verify vulnerable CGI binary exists
    Attempt to access the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi on the router web server via HTTP request (e.g., curl http://<router-ip>/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi)
    Affected if The CGI binary responds or is present on the device, then the vulnerable code path exists
  4. Check if IP Port Filter feature is enabled
    Log into the router web interface and navigate to the IP Port Filter or firewall rules configuration section (usually under Security or Firewall settings)
    Affected if The setIpPortFilterRules function is accessible and the feature is enabled, the vulnerable code path can be triggered
  5. Assess network exposure of web interface
    Check if router HTTP/HTTPS ports (80/443) are exposed to untrusted networks by scanning from an external host or reviewing firewall rules: nmap -p 80,443 <router-public-ip>
    Affected if Ports 80/443 are directly accessible from untrusted networks (internet), then the device is vulnerable to remote exploitation

If the device is a Totolink LR1200GB running firmware version 9.1.0u.6619_B20230130 and the web interface is network-accessible, the device is affected by this vulnerability.
