Memory corruption via undisclosed stack buffer overflow
Published Apr 28, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Stack-based buffer overflow in affected NETGEAR router and gateway firmware allows remote authenticated users to corrupt device memory. NETGEAR has not disclosed the affected request handler, input field, or unchecked copy operation that overruns the stack buffer. An attacker must have high-privilege access from an adjacent network; successful exploitation can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
