NVD · unedited
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in UTT nv518G nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the gohead/sub_448384 component

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

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the gohead/sub_448384 component of UTT nv518G router firmware (nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313). A remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted input to overflow a buffer, causing the device to crash and result in denial of service. The CVSS 7.5 score indicates high severity due to the network attack vector and complete availability impact.

MitigationApply vendor-provided firmware patches when available. If no patch exists, consider network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks and implement input validation/filtering at upstream network devices.

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. Identify device model
    Log into the router admin interface or check the device label to confirm the model is UTT nv518G
    Affected if Device is not an UTT nv518G router, then it is not affected
  2. Check firmware version
    Access router administration panel, look for firmware/version information in system settings or status page, or use command line if accessible (e.g., cat /proc/version or vendor-specific command)
    Affected if Firmware version is nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313 or falls within the same release branch (v3.2.7 series)
  3. Confirm gohead service is active
    Check if the gohead process or sub_448384 component is running on the device via process list (ps command) or by examining exposed network services on the router
    Affected if The gohead service is enabled and listening on network interfaces
  4. Assess network exposure
    Review firewall rules and WAN interface configuration to determine if the router or its management interfaces are directly accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if The router management interface or gohead service is exposed to the internet or untrusted LAN segments without proper access controls

The device is affected if it is an UTT nv518G router running firmware nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313 (or equivalent v3.2.7 branch) with the gohead component active and accessible from a network where an attacker could send malicious input.
