wndr3400v3_firmware

A stack-based buffer overflow in the upnpd binary running on NETGEAR WNDR3400v3 routers with firmware version 1.0.1.18_1.0.63 allows an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code via a crafted UPnP SSDP packet.

Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by a buffer overflow by an unauthenticated attacker. This affects DC112A before 1.0.0.52, R6400 before 1.0.1.68, RAX200 before 1.0.3.106, WNDR3400v3 before 1.0.1.38, XR300 before 1.0.3.68, R8500 before 1.0.2.144, RAX75 before 1.0.3.106, R8300 before 1.0.2.144, and RAX80 before 1.0.3.106.

This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NETGEAR R6400v2 1.0.4.106_10.0.80 routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the UPnP service, which listens on TCP port 5000 by default. When parsing the uuid request header, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-14110.
