CVE-2024-44390
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 · uneditedTenda FH1206 V1.2.0.8(8155)_EN contains a Buffer Overflow vulnerability via the function formWrlsafeset.
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 · moderate confidenceTenda FH1206 router firmware V1.2.0.8(8155)_EN contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the formWrlsafeset function, which handles wireless security settings. The vulnerability allows attackers to overflow a buffer, potentially enabling remote code execution or service disruption.

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.
-
Identify router modelLog into the router's web administration interface or check the device label to confirm the model is Tenda FH1206Affected if Router model is not Tenda FH1206
-
Check firmware versionNavigate to the router's system settings or status page in the web interface, or check via CLI if available, and locate the firmware version informationAffected if Firmware version is 1.2.0.8(8155)_EN
-
Verify wireless security settings accessAccess the wireless security configuration page in the router web interface and confirm the formWrlsafeset function is present (typically under Wireless > Security settings)Affected if Wireless security settings page is accessible and functional
-
Assess network exposureDetermine if the router's management interface (port 80/443) is exposed to the internet or untrusted networks by checking router port forwarding rules or external port scansAffected if Management interface is reachable from untrusted networks
You are affected if you have a Tenda FH1206 router running firmware version 1.2.0.8(8155)_EN with the wireless security settings feature accessible, especially if exposed to untrusted networks.

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 patches when available; until then, restrict network access to the router's management interface and monitor for unusual traffic patterns targeting the wireless configuration functions.
