Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by a stack-based buffer overflow by an unauthenticated attacker. This affects R6260 before 1.1.0.76, R6800 before 1.2.0.62, R6700v2 before 1.2.0.62, R6900v2 before 1.2.0.62, R7450 before 1.2.0.62, AC2100 before 1.2.0.62, AC2400 before 1.2.0.62, and AC2600 before 1.2.0.62.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.3, indicating it requires adjacent network access with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and limited availability for affected systems. Impacting 16 products from netgear, from netgear, from netgear and 13 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2021, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For netgear's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
