What to do

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately identify and inventory all ZTE routers in their environment to determine exposure. Network segmentation and firewall rules should be applied to restrict access to the HTTPD management interface, limiting it to trusted administrative networks only. Where possible, disable remote management interfaces or restrict them via VPN or secure channels. Monitor network traffic for anomalous or suspicious requests targeting the HTTPD service. Since no official patches are currently available, consider deploying virtual patching via intrusion prevention systems (IPS) that can detect and block exploit attempts targeting this vulnerability. Engage with ZTE support channels to obtain information on forthcoming patches or firmware updates. Plan for rapid deployment of security updates once released. Additionally, maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans to quickly recover from potential compromises. Avoid exposing affected devices directly to the internet until patched.

Description

The HTTPD binary in multiple ZTE routers has a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in webPrivateDecrypt function. This function is responsible for decrypting RSA encrypted ciphertext, the encrypted data is supplied base64 encoded. The decoded ciphertext is stored on the stack without checking its length. An unauthenticated attacker can get RCE as root by exploiting this vulnerability.
