Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-27571, organizations should first check for any firmware updates or patches released by LBT addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly. In the absence of official patches, network administrators should restrict access to the management interfaces of affected devices by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules to block unauthorized POST requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Deploying intrusion detection or prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with custom signatures to detect anomalous POST requests containing malformed ApCliSsid parameters can help identify and block exploitation attempts. Additionally, disabling remote management features or restricting them to trusted IP addresses reduces exposure. Regular monitoring of device logs for crashes or unusual reboots can provide early warning signs of exploitation attempts. Finally, organizations should consider replacing vulnerable devices with updated models if patches are unavailable or delayed.

Description

LBT T300-T390 v2.2.1.8 were discovered to contain a stack overflow via the ApCliSsid parameter in the makeCurRemoteApList function. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted POST request.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-27571 is a Denial of Service condition on affected LBT T300-T390 devices. This can disrupt network connectivity and availability, particularly in environments relying on these devices for wireless access or network bridging. Organizations may experience service outages, degraded network performance, and potential operational downtime. Since the vulnerability can be triggered remotely without authentication, attackers can easily target exposed devices, increasing the risk of widespread disruption. Although the vulnerability does not compromise data confidentiality or integrity, the loss of availability can affect critical business functions, especially in sectors dependent on continuous network access such as telecommunications, enterprise networks, and public infrastructure. The absence of known exploits currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the vulnerability remains a significant risk if weaponized.

CWE-121Stack-based Buffer Overflow (opens in a new tab)
Variant weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #14
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…
