Memory corruption via unchecked host string copy
Published Apr 30, 2025 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
Buffer overflow in default_version_is_new in NETGEAR JWNR2000v2 1.0.0.11 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory. The function obtains the host field through nvram_get and copies it with strcpy without checking its length against the destination buffer. Reachability requires low-privileged network access; oversized input can overwrite adjacent memory, crash the service, or alter execution.
