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 Buffer overflow vulnerability in function fromAdvSetMacMtuWan of bin httpd in Tenda AC10V4.0 V16.03.10.20 allows remote attackers to cause denial of service and possibly code execution by sending a post request with a crafted payload (field `serviceName`) to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan.

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 confidence

Buffer overflow in Tenda AC10V4.0 router's httpd binary in the fromAdvSetMacMtuWan function allows remote attackers to send a crafted POST request with an oversized serviceName parameter to /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan, potentially achieving code execution or denial of service.

MitigationUntil a firmware patch is available, restrict access to the router's web management interface from untrusted networks, disable remote administration if possible, and monitor for exploitation attempts.

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 router model is Tenda AC10
    Check the router label or access the web interface and look for the model number in the status or system information page
    Affected if Router is not a Tenda AC10 model - not affected
  2. Check firmware version
    Access the router web interface, navigate to System Settings or Administration section, and locate the firmware version displayed. The affected version is exactly 16.03.10.20
    Affected if Firmware version is 16.03.10.20 - matches the vulnerable version
  3. Verify httpd web service is running
    Attempt to access the router's IP address on port 80 or 443 via HTTP to confirm the httpd web service is responding
    Affected if Web service is not running or not accessible - attack surface not present
  4. Check if remote web management is enabled
    In the router web interface, go to Advanced Settings or Administration, look for 'Remote Management', 'Remote Web Management', or 'Web Management' settings, and determine if remote access from WAN is permitted
    Affected if Remote management from WAN is enabled - allows remote attackers to reach the vulnerable /goform/AdvSetMacMtuWan endpoint

The environment is affected if it is a Tenda AC10 router running firmware version 16.03.10.20 and the httpd web service is accessible to the attacker (whether locally or remotely if remote management is enabled).
