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 · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Tenda AC1206 15.03.06.23. This vulnerability affects the function check_param_changed of the file /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWa of the component HTTP Request Handler. Performing manipulation of the argument wanMTU results in stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

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 confidence

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Tenda AC1206 router firmware (15.03.06.23) within the HTTP Request Handler's /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWa endpoint. The check_param_changed function fails to perform proper bounds checking on the wanMTU parameter before copying it to a fixed-size stack buffer, allowing remote attackers to overwrite return addresses and execute arbitrary code.

MitigationApply vendor firmware patches when available; meanwhile, disable remote web management interfaces, place device behind a firewall restricting HTTP/HTTPS access from untrusted networks, and monitor for indicators of compromise.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm firmware version
    Access the router admin interface and navigate to System Status or Firmware Upgrade page to view the installed firmware version. Alternatively, use the router's web API or check via telnet/SSH if available: 'cat /proc/version' or '固件版本' in the admin panel.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is exactly 15.03.06.23
  2. Verify vulnerable endpoint exists
    Attempt to access the URL path /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWa on the router's web interface (e.g., http://router-ip/goform/AdvSetMacMtuWa). The endpoint may respond even if the parameter is not actively configurable.
    Affected if The endpoint responds with any HTTP content, indicating the vulnerable function is present in the firmware.
  3. Check if remote web management is enabled
    In the router admin interface, locate the Remote Management or Web Server settings (often under Advanced Settings, System Tools, or Security). Verify if 'Remote Web Management', 'Remote Access', or 'Allow external access to web interface' is enabled.
    Affected if Remote web management is enabled, allowing unauthenticated or low-privilege attackers to reach the vulnerable endpoint from the WAN.
  4. IdentifywanMTU parameter exposure
    Inspect the HTML form at /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWa or related MTU configuration pages. Look for an input field named 'wanMTU' or similar that accepts numeric values for MTU configuration.
    Affected if The wanMTU parameter field exists in the web interface and accepts user-supplied input without visible length validation.

A user is affected if the Tenda AC1206 firmware is version 15.03.06.23, the vulnerable endpoint is accessible, and remote web management is enabled, allowing WAN-side exploitation of the wanMTU buffer overflow.
