Vulnerability In Linksys Cable/DSL Router

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bugs-sploits-and-buffer-overruns dept.

ispcay writes "Yahoo has published an article on a Linksys vulnerability. An easily exploitable software vulnerability in a common home networking router by Linksys Group could expose thousands of home users to denial of service attacks, according to a security advisory issued by iDefense, a software security company." The article's kinda sparse on details, but does mention that the vulnerability is fixed in the latest firmware release. Upgrade 'em if ya got 'em!

    I use netgear :)

    Not to say that something like this won't happen to netgear. Plus you have to be concerned about those companies putting backdoors in for the NSA.
