TITLE

Linksys DSL Router Arbitrarily Sets SNMP Trap System Vulnerability

Trust: 0.6

sources: CNVD: CNVD-2002-0013

DESCRIPTION

Linksys EtherFast BEFN2PS4, BEFSR41, and BEFSR81 Routers, and possibly other products, allow remote attackers to gain sensitive information and cause a denial of service via an SNMP query for the default community string "public," which causes the router to change its configuration and send SNMP trap information back to the system that initiated the query. Linksys DSL router is a high-speed internet access solution provided by Linksys Group. Linksys DSL routers provide features including high-speed internet access, built-in switching capabilities in the router, and Voice-over-IP.  Linksys routers send SNMP traps to arbitrary addresses. This will leak network traffic information handled by the router. Because SNMP uses UDP as a means of transmitting information, this may result in a number of routers being used to create a network of distributed denial of service attacks. The problem is in the use of a default community string. The problem affects Linksys routers which may work with either Microsoft or Unix and Linux systems
