Summary

Certain versions of Netgear routers are susceptible to a stack overflow vulnerability through the 'pptp_user_ip' parameter in the 'pptp.cgi' file. This allows attackers to send specially crafted POST requests to exploit the issue, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service condition. This highlights the need for users to update their firmware promptly to mitigate potential risks.
