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 has been found in Tenda F451 1.0.0.7. Affected by this issue is the function frmL7ProtForm of the file /goform/L7Prot of the component httpd. Such manipulation of the argument page leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may 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

Stack-based buffer overflow in Tenda F451 router httpd service. The frmL7ProtForm function in /goform/L7Prot fails to properly validate the 'page' parameter before using it in a stack-based buffer, allowing remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP requests.

MitigationApply vendor firmware patch if available; otherwise restrict access to the httpd service (port 80/443) or disable the L7Prot functionality until a fix is released. Consider network segmentation to limit exposure.

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 the installed firmware version
    Access the Tenda F451 web management interface (usually at 192.168.0.1) and navigate to System Settings > Firmware Version, or check via CLI using 'cat /proc/version' or 'ver' command if SSH/telnet is available
    Affected if The firmware version is exactly 1.0.0.7
  2. Confirm the httpd component is running
    If you have shell access, run 'ps | grep httpd' or 'ps aux | grep httpd' to verify the httpd process is active
    Affected if The httpd process is running and serving the web interface
  3. Verify the /goform/L7Prot endpoint is reachable
    Attempt to access the endpoint by sending a request to http://[device-ip]/goform/L7Prot using curl or a browser. A valid response (even an error page) indicates the endpoint exists and is enabled
    Affected if The endpoint responds to HTTP requests, meaning it is accessible and not disabled by network filtering
  4. Test if the 'page' parameter is accepted
    Send a GET or POST request to /goform/L7Prot with a 'page' parameter (e.g., curl 'http://192.168.0.1/goform/L7Prot?page=test'). Observe whether the device processes the parameter without rejecting it
    Affected if The device accepts and processes the 'page' parameter without rejecting it, indicating the vulnerable code path is reachable

You are affected if the firmware version is exactly 1.0.0.7 AND the httpd service is running with the /goform/L7Prot endpoint accessible and accepting the 'page' parameter.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply vendor firmware patch if available; otherwise restrict access to the httpd service (port 80/443) or disable the L7Prot functionality until a fix is released. Consider network segmentation to limit exposure.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Any firmware version newer than 1.0.0.7 that includes the security fix for the /goform/L7Prot stack-based buffer overflow (check Tenda's release notes)

  1. 1. Visit the official Tenda support website at www.tenda.com.cn to check for firmware updates for the F451 device.
  2. 2. Look for firmware versions newer than 1.0.0.7 that address security vulnerabilities.
  3. 3. Download the latest firmware version available from Tenda's official support page.
  4. 4. Follow Tenda's documented firmware upgrade procedure, typically involving uploading the firmware file through the device's web administration interface.
  5. 5. After upgrading, verify the httpd component version or confirm the vulnerability is resolved.
  6. 6. If no newer firmware is available, consider contacting Tenda support directly for security patches.
