NETGEAR RAX30 soap_serverd Stack-based Buffer Overflow Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

CVE-2023-27368

Summary

The NETGEAR RAX30 router is impacted by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the soap_serverd binary. When handling SOAP message headers, it fails to enforce proper length checks on the user-supplied data. This oversight allows network-adjacent attackers to exploit the vulnerability without the need for authentication, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the device. This issue underscores significant security concerns for users of the NETGEAR RAX30 router, as it exposes systems to unauthorized access and control.
