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 F451 1.0.0.7_cn_svn7958. This issue affects the function fromGstDhcpSetSer of the file /goform/GstDhcpSetSer of the component httpd. Performing a manipulation of the argument dips results in buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. 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

Buffer overflow in Tenda F451 router httpd service. The fromGstDhcpSetSer function in /goform/GstDhcpSetSer fails to properly validate the 'dips' argument before copying it to a fixed-size buffer, allowing remote attackers to overflow the buffer and potentially execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP requests.

MitigationApply vendor firmware update if available; otherwise restrict remote access to the router's web interface via firewall rules or disable WAN-facing management. Consider replacing end-of-life device.

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 device model
    Access the router's web interface or check the device label to confirm it is a Tenda F451 router.
    Affected if The device is a Tenda F451 router.
  2. Check the firmware version
    Log into the router admin panel and navigate to System Settings > Firmware Upgrade, or check via CLI if available, then compare your version against any official Tenda F451 firmware releases.
    Affected if The installed firmware version has not been patched by the vendor.
  3. Verify the httpd service is accessible
    Confirm the router's web interface (HTTP/HTTPS on ports 80/443) is reachable from your network.
    Affected if The httpd service is running and accessible.
  4. Confirm WAN exposure of the management interface
    Check router firewall settings to determine if the web interface is accessible from the WAN (internet) side. This can be done via the admin panel under Security or Firewall settings, or by attempting to access the router's public IP from an external network.
    Affected if WAN-facing remote management is enabled, making the vulnerable endpoint directly reachable from the internet.
  5. Inspect the vulnerable endpoint availability
    Verify the /goform/GstDhcpSetSer endpoint exists and responds by sending a crafted HTTP POST request with the 'dips' parameter (use only in authorized, controlled testing environments).
    Affected if The GstDhcpSetSer endpoint is accessible and accepts the 'dips' parameter.

You are affected if you own a Tenda F451 router where the httpd service exposes the /goform/GstDhcpSetSer endpoint to an attacker and the firmware has not been patched.
