CVE-2017-11344 describes a global buffer overflow in the networkmap component of Asuswrt-Merlin firmware and various ASUS router firmware versions. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to write shellcode to arbitrary heap addresses, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on affected routers. The attack involves hosting a specially crafted XML document at a URL specified in an SSDP response's Location header. Rated with a CVSS score of 7.8 (High), this vulnerability has a local attack vector with low complexity, requiring user interaction (UI:R) to achieve high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are also notably absent.
