CVE-2017-18750

Memory corruption via pre-authentication stack overflow

Published Apr 23, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

A stack-based buffer overflow in NETGEAR D6200, R6700v2, R6800, and R6900v2 firmware allows remote attackers on an adjacent network to corrupt memory. The advisory does not identify the affected request handler, input field, or unsafe copy operation that overruns the stack buffer. No authentication is required; affected versions are D6200 before 1.1.00.24 and R6700v2, R6800, and R6900v2 before 1.1.0.42.
