CVE-2024-46554
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 · uneditedDraytek Vigor 3910 v4.3.2.6 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow in the profname parameter at v2x00.cgi. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.
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 confidenceA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Draytek Vigor 3910 router firmware v4.3.2.6, specifically in the profname parameter of the v2x00.cgi web interface. Attackers can exploit this by sending a specially crafted input that exceeds expected buffer boundaries, causing the device to crash and result in a Denial of Service.

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 the device modelAccess the router's web interface or check the device label to confirm it is a Draytek Vigor 3910Affected if The device is not a Draytek Vigor 3910, then it is not affected by this specific CVE
-
Check the firmware versionLog into the router admin panel and navigate to System Status or Firmware Upgrade page to view the installed firmware version, or use the command line and run 'sys mfdump' or check the kernel log for version informationAffected if The installed firmware version is exactly 4.3.2.6, then the device is affected; if the version differs (higher or lower), then it is not this specific version
-
Verify web interface accessibilityConfirm that the v2x00.cgi web interface is enabled and accessible on the device (typically at https://<router-ip>/cgi/v2x00.cgi)Affected if The v2x00.cgi interface is accessible but the firmware is 4.3.2.6, the device is affected by this buffer overflow vulnerability
The device is affected only if it is a Draytek Vigor 3910 running firmware version exactly 4.3.2.6, as this CVE does not apply to other versions or device models.

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-supplied firmware updates when available. Until a patch is released, restrict administrative web interface access to trusted networks or IP addresses to reduce attack surface.
