Title
Stack based overflow on Netcomm router models NF20MESH, NF20, and NL1902
Summary
On Netcomm router models NF20MESH, NF20, and NL1902 a stack based buffer overflow affects the sessionKey parameter. By providing a specific number of bytes, the instruction pointer is able to be overwritten on the stack and crashes the application at a known location.
