LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Certain NETGEAR routers (D6200, R6700v2, R6800, R6900v2) are vulnerable to a pre-authentication stack-based buffer overflow allowing remote code execution.
Vulnerability
Stack-based buffer overflow in certain NETGEAR devices allows an unauthenticated attacker to exploit. Affected: D6200 before 1.1.00.24, R6700v2 before 1.1.0.42, R6800 before 1.1.0.42, R6900v2 before 1.1.0.42. [1]
Exploitation
Exploitation requires network adjacency (CVSS:3.0/AV:A) and no authentication. An unauthenticated attacker can send crafted packets to trigger the stack overflow. [1]
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to achieve code execution with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS:8.8). [1]
Mitigation
NETGEAR has released firmware updates: D6200 version 1.1.00.24, R6700v2 version 1.1.0.42, R6800 version 1.1.0.42, R6900v2 version 1.1.0.42. Users should download and install the latest firmware from NETGEAR Support. [1]
