A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Netgear JWNR2000v2 1.0.0.11. Affected is the function check_language_file. The manipulation of the argument host leads to buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow.
