This security hole has been addressed with the release of version 1.0.1.24.Ĭisco on Wednesday also published three other advisories describing high severity vulnerabilities affecting various products. The same router model is also affected by a medium severity bug that can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker to bypass the remote management ACL. Users can determine which firmware version is running on their device from the product’s web interface. Cisco said no other small business routers are affected. The flaw affects CVR100W Wireless-N VPN routers running a version of the firmware prior to 1.0.1.22. The security hole can be exploited by sending a specially crafted request to the UPnP listening port of the targeted router. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2017-3882 and described as a buffer overflow, affects the device’s Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) implementation and it can allow an unauthenticated, layer 2-adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges or cause vulnerable routers to reload. The company said there was no evidence of malicious exploitation. The vulnerability, discovered by researchers from GeekPwn, a China-based IoT-focused hacking competition, affects CVR100W Wireless-N VPN routers.
