CVE-2024-51138 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2024-51138: Vigor165/166 4.2.7 and earlier; Vigor2620/LTE200 3.9.8.9 and earlier; Vigor2860/2925 3.9.8 and earlier; Vigor2862/2926 3.9.9.5 and earlier; Vigor2133/2762/2832 3.9.9 and earlier; Vigor2135/2765/2766 4.4.5. and earlier; Vigor2865/2866/2927 4.4.5.3 and earlier; Vigor2962 4.3.2.8 and earlier; Vigor3912 4.3.6.1 and earlier; Vigor3910 4.4.3.1 and earlier a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the URL parsing functionality of the TR069 STUN server. This flaw occurs due to insufficient bounds checking on the amount of URL parameters, allowing an attacker to exploit the overflow by sending a maliciously crafted request. Consequently, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2024-51138

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2024-51138 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2024-51138

With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2024-51138 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2024-51138, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis
