DESCRIPTION:

exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted packet.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.3.1.10 of WG311ND5.SYS
included in the WG311v1 Driver version 1.3 package. Other versions
may also be affected.
