Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Netgear Wndap330 up to 2.1.10 (Wireless LAN Software) and classified as critical. This issue affects some unknown functionality of the component Wireless Driver. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

The Atheros wireless driver, as used in Netgear WNDAP330 Wi-Fi access point with firmware 2.1.11 and other versions before 3.0.3 on the Atheros AR9160-BC1A chipset, and other products, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (device reboot or hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a truncated reserved management frame.

The weakness was released 11/10/2009 by Laurent Butti (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2009-0052 since 01/07/2009. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack can only be initiated within the local network. A simple authentication is required for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept.

Upgrading to version 2.1.11 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (54216), SecurityFocus (BID 36991†), OSVDB (59880†) and Secunia (SA37344†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
