CVE-2021-34991 – NETGEAR R6400v2 UPnP uuid Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-34991
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. • https://kb.netgear.com/000064361/Security-Advisory-for-Pre-Authentication-Buffer-Overflow-on-Multiple-Products-PSV-2021-0168 https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-21-1303 • CWE-121: Stack-based Buffer Overflow CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write •
CVE-2021-40847
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-40847
The update process of the Circle Parental Control Service on various NETGEAR routers allows remote attackers to achieve remote code execution as root via a MitM attack. While the parental controls themselves are not enabled by default on the routers, the Circle update daemon, circled, is enabled by default. This daemon connects to Circle and NETGEAR to obtain version information and updates to the circled daemon and its filtering database. However, database updates from NETGEAR are unsigned and downloaded via cleartext HTTP. As such, an attacker with the ability to perform a MitM attack on the device can respond to circled update requests with a crafted, compressed database file, the extraction of which gives the attacker the ability to overwrite executable files with attacker-controlled code. • https://blog.grimm-co.com/2021/09/mama-always-told-me-not-to-trust.html https://kb.netgear.com/000064039/Security-Advisory-for-Remote-Code-Execution-on-Some-Routers-PSV-2021-0204 • CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information •
