CVE-2024-5463
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 vulnerability regarding buffer copy without checking the size of input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') has been found in the login component. This allows remote attackers to write specific files containing non-sensitive information and conduct limited denial-of-service attacks via unspecified vectors. This attack only affects the login service which will automatically restart. The following models with Synology Camera Firmware versions before 1.1.1-0383 may be affected: BC500 and TC500.
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 confidenceBuffer overflow vulnerability in the login component of Synology BC500 and TC500 cameras allows remote attackers to write specific non-sensitive files and conduct limited denial-of-service attacks via unspecified vectors. The affected login service automatically restarts after exploitation.

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 camera modelAccess the Synology camera web interface or check the device label. Confirm the model is either BC500 or TC500.Affected if Model is BC500 or TC500 and firmware version is below 1.1.1-0383
-
Check firmware version via web interfaceLog into the camera web management panel, navigate to Settings or System Information section, and locate the firmware version field.Affected if Firmware version displayed is less than 1.1.1-0383
-
Check firmware version via command lineIf SSH access is enabled, connect to the camera and run the command: cat /etc/version or grep version /var/log/messages to retrieve the installed firmware version.Affected if Retrieved firmware version is lower than 1.1.1-0383
-
Verify login service accessibilityConfirm the camera login service is reachable over the network on the default HTTP/HTTPS ports (typically 80 or 443). The vulnerability requires the login component to be network-accessible.Affected if Login service is exposed on the network and firmware version is below 1.1.1-0383
You are affected if you own a Synology BC500 or TC500 camera running firmware version lower than 1.1.1-0383, and the camera login service is network-accessible.

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.
dbcve · scoped1.1.1-0383
Update Synology BC500 and TC500 camera firmware to version 1.1.1-0383 or later to remediate this vulnerability.
Firmware version 1.1.1-0383
- 1. Identify the Synology camera model (BC500 or TC500) requiring remediation.
- 2. Access the camera's web interface or Synology surveillance station management console.
- 3. Navigate to the firmware update section for the affected camera.
- 4. Check the current firmware version to confirm it is below 1.1.1-0383.
- 5. Download the latest firmware version 1.1.1-0383 or later from the official Synology download center at www.synology.com.
- 6. Apply the firmware update following the standard Synology camera firmware upgrade procedure.
- 7. After the update completes, verify the new firmware version is 1.1.1-0383 or higher.
- 8. Confirm the login service is functioning normally after the automatic restart.
