This bug is pretty interesting. Essentially, someone found a vulnerability in WAPD, which stands for Wireless Access Point Daemon. Mediatek, a company that makes the chips used in many wireless routers, provides an SDK to make the lives of router manufacturers like Netgear or Ubiquiti easier. This SDK includes pre-built code, like WAPD, for provisioning wireless access points.
