CVE-2017-18728

Unauthenticated compromise via stack overflow

Published Apr 24, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in NETGEAR D6200 before 1.1.00.24 allows remote attackers to compromise device confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The advisory identifies a pre-authentication stack overflow in router firmware but does not disclose the specific request handler or unsafe input operation. Attackers need adjacent-network access and no credentials or user interaction; the published CVSS impacts cover confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
