Stack-based buffer overflow in multiple NETGEAR Orbi mesh WiFi models (RBR860, RBRE950/960, RBE970/971, RBS860, RBSE950/960) enables an unauthenticated adjacent-network attacker to crash or force a restart of the affected device, causing a loss of network connectivity. The root cause is CWE-121 (stack-based buffer overflow), meaning a crafted network payload can overwrite stack memory and destabilize the device process. The CVSS 4.0 supplemental metric E:P indicates a proof-of-concept exploit exists, elevating practical risk despite the moderate base score of 5.7.
