Netgear R8500 v1.0.2.160 was discovered to contain multiple stack overflow vulnerabilities in the component openvpn.cgi via the openvpn_service_port and openvpn_service_port_tun parameters. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted POST request.
AnalysisAI
Netgear R8500 v1.0.2.160 was discovered to contain multiple stack overflow vulnerabilities in the component openvpn.cgi via the openvpn_service_port and openvpn_service_port_tun parameters. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.7), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Copy without Size Check (CWE-120), which allows attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory. Netgear R8500 v1.0.2.160 was discovered to contain multiple stack overflow vulnerabilities in the component openvpn.cgi via the openvpn_service_port and openvpn_service_port_tun parameters. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted POST request. Affected products include: Netgear R8500 Firmware.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Always validate buffer sizes before copy operations. Use bounded functions (strncpy, snprintf). Enable compiler protections.
