Unauthenticated stack overflow

A stack-based buffer overflow in NETGEAR WiFi systems before the listed firmware versions allows unauthenticated attackers to affect device availability, integrity, and confidentiality via network requests. The vulnerable pre-authentication request handler copies attacker-controlled data into a fixed-size stack buffer without sufficient bounds enforcement, causing memory corruption. Exploitation requires access to the device network service; successful attacks can crash the device or potentially execute code, while the vendor advisory does not publish a more specific payload or endpoint.
