Affected Product Versions
The primary affected product is the Tenda FH1202 router with firmware version 1.2.0.14(408). It is essential to identify and update any devices running this firmware version to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Workaround and Mitigation
To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2024-2984, the following strategies should be implemented:
- Firmware Update: Check for firmware updates from Tenda and apply any available patches immediately. Keeping the firmware up to date is the most effective way to address this vulnerability.
- Network Segmentation: Isolate vulnerable devices from critical network segments to limit potential damage. This can prevent attackers from moving laterally within the network if they compromise a vulnerable device.
- Monitor Network Traffic: Implement network monitoring to detect unusual traffic patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. Tools like Wireshark and Snort can be useful for this purpose.
- Access Control: Restrict access to the device management interface to trusted IP addresses only. This can be achieved by configuring firewall rules or using access control lists (ACLs).
