Linksys WRT54GL Traceroute Diagnostic Function apply.cgi system os command injection

A security vulnerability has been detected in Linksys WRT54GL 4.30.18. The impacted element is the function system of the file apply.cgi of the component Traceroute Diagnostic Function. Such manipulation of the argument traceroute_ip leads to os command injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

Linksys WRT54GL Ping Diagnostic apply.cgi system os command injection

A weakness has been identified in Linksys WRT54GL 4.30.18. The affected element is the function system of the file apply.cgi of the component Ping Diagnostic. This manipulation of the argument ping_ip causes os command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

The Linksys WRT54G router has "admin" as its default FTP password, which allows remote attackers to access sensitive files including nvram.cfg, a file that lists all HTML documents, and an ELF executable file.

Linksys WRT54g firmware 1.00.9 does not require credentials when making configuration changes, which allows remote attackers to modify arbitrary configurations via a direct request to Security.tri, as demonstrated using the SecurityMode and layout parameters, a different issue than CVE-2006-2559.

The Linksys WAG200G with firmware 1.01.01, WRT54GC 2 with firmware 1.00.7, and WRT54GC 1 with firmware 1.03.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (passwords and configuration data) via a packet to UDP port 916. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in apply.cgi in the Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router with firmware 4.30.9 allows remote attackers to perform actions as administrators.

The web interface on the Linksys WRT54g router with firmware 1.00.9 does not require credentials when invoking scripts, which allows remote attackers to perform arbitrary administrative actions via a direct request to (1) Advanced.tri, (2) AdvRoute.tri, (3) Basic.tri, (4) ctlog.tri, (5) ddns.tri, (6) dmz.tri, (7) factdefa.tri, (8) filter.tri, (9) fw.tri, (10) manage.tri, (11) ping.tri, (12) PortRange.tri, (13) ptrigger.tri, (14) qos.tri, (15) rstatus.tri, (16) tracert.tri, (17) vpn.tri, (18) WanMac.tri, (19) WBasic.tri, or (20) WFilter.tri. NOTE: the Security.tri vector is already covered by CVE-2006-5202.

The Linksys WRT54G router stores passwords and keys in cleartext in the Config.bin file, which might allow remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via an HTTP request for the top-level Config.bin URI.

The Linksys WRT54G router allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device restart) via a long username and password to the FTP interface.

The FTP server on the Linksys WRT54G 7 router with 7.00.1 firmware does not verify authentication credentials, which allows remote attackers to establish an FTP session by sending an arbitrary username and password.

Buffer overflow on the Linksys WRT54GL wireless router allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by a certain module in VulnDisco Pack Professional 8.10 through 8.11. NOTE: as of 20090917, this disclosure has no actionable information. However, because the VulnDisco Pack author is a reliable researcher, the issue is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions and conduct unauthorized operations via a UPnP request with a modified InternalClient parameter, which is not validated, as demonstrated by using AddPortMapping to forward arbitrary traffic.

DHCP on Linksys BEFSR11, BEFSR41, BEFSR81, and BEFSRU31 Cable/DSL Routers, firmware version 1.45.7, does not properly clear previously used buffer contents in a BOOTP reply packet, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.

Linksys WRT54G router uses the same private key and certificate for every router, which allows remote attackers to sniff the SSL connection and obtain sensitive information.

The Web interface in Linksys WRT54G 2.02.7 and BEFSR41 version 3, with the firewall disabled, allows remote attackers to attempt to login to an administration web page, even when the configuration specifies that remote administration is disabled.

Unknown vulnerability in Linksys WRT54GS wireless router with firmware 4.50.6, with WPA Personal/TKIP authentication enabled, allows remote clients to bypass authentication by connecting without using encryption.

Buffer overflow in apply.cgi in Linksys WRT54G 3.01.03, 3.03.6, and possibly other versions before 4.20.7, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long HTTP POST request.

Linksys WRT54G router allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and server hang) via an HTTP POST request with a negative Content-Length value.

ezconfig.asp in Linksys WRT54G router 3.01.03, 3.03.6, non-default configurations of 2.04.4, and possibly other versions, does not use an authentication initialization function, which allows remote attackers to obtain encrypted configuration information and, if the key is known, modify the configuration.

ezconfig.asp in Linksys WRT54G router 3.01.03, 3.03.6, non-default configurations of 2.04.4, and possibly other versions, uses weak encryption (XOR encoding with a fixed byte mask) for configuration information, which could allow attackers to decrypt the information and possibly re-encrypt it in conjunction with CVE-2005-2914.
