CVE-2024-46589
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 sIpv6AiccuUser parameter at inetipv6.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 within the inetipv6.cgi web script, specifically in the sIpv6AiccuUser parameter. Attackers can send specially crafted input that overflows a buffer, causing the device to crash and resulting 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 router modelAccess the router web管理界面 or CLI and retrieve the device model information. Look for 'Vigor3910' or 'Vigor 3910' in the system status or device info page.Affected if The device is not a Draytek Vigor 3910, then it is not affected by this specific CVE.
-
Check the firmware versionIn the router web interface, navigate to System Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade or System Status to view the installed firmware version. Alternatively, use the CLI command 'sys show firmware' or similar to retrieve the version.Affected if The firmware version is exactly 4.3.2.6, then the device is vulnerable. Versions before or after this exact build may have different vulnerability status.
-
Verify inetipv6.cgi is accessibleAttempt to access the web script directly by browsing to the URL pattern: http://<router-ip>/cgi-bin/inetipv6.cgi or check if the script exists in the /cgi-bin/ directory via directory enumeration or by reviewing the router's published web endpoints.Affected if The inetipv6.cgi script is present and accessible on the device, indicating the web interface feature is enabled and potentially exploitable.
-
Check if IPv6 ACCU feature is configuredIn the router web interface, navigate to IPv6 configuration settings or WAN settings to locate the 'IPv6 ACCU' or 'sIpv6AiccuUser' parameter configuration. This is typically found under IPv6 WAN setup or advanced IPv6 settings.Affected if The sIpv6AiccuUser parameter field exists and is configurable on the device, meaning the vulnerable input field is present and can be exploited with oversized input.
The device is affected only if it is a Draytek Vigor 3910 running exactly firmware version 4.3.2.6 with the inetipv6.cgi web script accessible and the IPv6 ACCU feature (sIpv6AiccuUser parameter) available in the configuration.

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 when available; meanwhile, restrict access to the web management interface via network segmentation or firewall rules, and implement input validation/WAF protections for the affected endpoint.
