CVE-2024-52030

Authenticated router crash via oversized netmask parameter

Published Nov 5, 2024 · Updated Nov 5, 2024

Stack overflow in NETGEAR R7000P Firmware 1.3.3.154 allows remote authenticated users to crash the router via a crafted POST request. The ru_wan_flow.cgi handler copies the user-controlled pptp_user_netmask value into a fixed-size stack buffer without checking its length. Access requires router credentials and a connection to the router network; exploitation crashes the router and interrupts routing service.
