What is CVE-2019-5055?

An exploitable issue has been identified in the Host Access Point Daemon (hostapd) of the NETGEAR N300 (WNR2000v5) wireless router. Attackers can disrupt the availability of the service by sending a specifically crafted SOAP request that follows an invalid sequence. This action may lead to a null pointer dereference, ultimately causing the hostapd service to crash. As a result, this vulnerability allows unauthenticated individuals to launch denial-of-service attacks targeting this device.
