A critical vulnerability has been uncovered in the NetUSB component of modern routers and other Internet of Things devices. The vulnerability is a remotely exploitable kernel stack buffer overflow and resides in the KCodes NetUSB module. An attacker could exploit the flaw to remote hijacking the devices or to cause a denial of service attack. TP-Link has already issued patches for 40 of its devices, Netgear and Trendnet, but other vendors including D-Link are potentially exposed to attacks. A possible mitigation action consists in disabling NetUSB from the admin console of the device.”]
