CVE-2024-57376
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 · uneditedBuffer Overflow vulnerability in D-Link DSR-150, DSR-150N, DSR-250, DSR-250N, DSR-500N, DSR-1000N from 3.13 to 3.17B901C allows unauthenticated users to execute remote code execution.
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 confidenceBuffer overflow vulnerability in D-Link DSR series routers (DSR-150 through DSR-1000N) running firmware versions 3.13 to 3.17B901C allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by overflowing a buffer in the firmware, likely through a network service handling user input without proper bounds checking.

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 DSR modelAccess the router web management interface and navigate to Status > System Information, or use CLI command 'show system' to identify the exact model (DSR-150, DSR-150N, DSR-250, DSR-250N, DSR-500N, or DSR-1000N).Affected if Device is one of: DSR-150, DSR-150N, DSR-250, DSR-250N, DSR-500N, DSR-1000N
-
Check firmware versionIn the web UI, go to Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade or Status > System Information to view the firmware version. Alternatively, use CLI command 'show version' to confirm the installed firmware version.Affected if Firmware version is any version >= 3.13 and <= 3.17B901C (including 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, 3.17B901C)
-
Verify web management interface exposureAttempt to reach the router HTTP/HTTPS ports (typically 80/443) from an external network, or review firewall rules to determine if the web management interface is accessible from untrusted networks.Affected if Web management interface is accessible from the internet or untrusted networks
-
Confirm remote management settingIn the web UI, navigate to System > Management > Remote Management and verify whether remote management access is enabled.Affected if Remote management is enabled and the web interface is exposed to untrusted networks
You are affected if your device is a DSR model with firmware between 3.13 and 3.17B901C and the web management interface is accessible from untrusted networks.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own 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.
dbcve · scopedReplace affected D-Link DSR routers with supported hardware, as these devices have likely reached end-of-life and no official patch is expected; until replacement, segment affected devices behind a firewall and disable exposed network services.
Firmware version newer than 3.17B901C (check D-Link support for the latest available version for your specific DSR model)
- 1. Identify the exact D-Link DSR model (DSR-150, DSR-150N, DSR-250, DSR-250N, DSR-500, or DSR-1000N) currently deployed.
- 2. Navigate to the official D-Link support website (www.dlink.com) and locate the firmware download section for your specific model.
- 3. Download the latest available firmware version for your DSR model. Note: The provided CVE description covers versions 3.13 through 3.17B901C, so any version newer than 3.17B901C may contain the fix.
- 4. Consult the D-Link firmware upgrade guide for your model to understand the upgrade procedure.
- 5. Back up the current device configuration before performing the firmware upgrade.
- 6. Upload and apply the new firmware via the device's web management interface or appropriate method specified in the documentation.
- 7. After upgrade, verify the device is functioning correctly and confirm the new firmware version is installed.
- 8. Validate that the vulnerability is remediated by confirming the device responds normally and reviewing any security release notes if available.
