01Description

An exploitable arbitrary memory read vulnerability exists in the KCodes NetUSB.ko kernel module which enables the ReadySHARE Printer functionality of at least two NETGEAR Nighthawk Routers and potentially several other vendors/products.

An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted packet on the local network to trigger this vulnerability.
