TITLE

Belkin F5D7230-4 Vulnerability that bypasses authentication in router control panel

DESCRIPTION

The control panel on the Belkin F5D7230-4 router with firmware 9.01.10 maintains authentication state by IP address, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by establishing a session from a source IP address of a previously authenticated user, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3802. Attackers can exploit this issue to gain access to affected routers using the account of a previously authenticated user. Belkin F5D7230-4 running firmware 9.01.10 is vulnerable; other devices and firmware versions may also be affected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new version (0.9.0.0 - Release Candidate 1) of the free Secunia PSI has been released.

This can be exploited to perform restricted administrative actions by directly accessing the vulnerable script. 3) An error exists in the cgi-bin/setup_virtualserver.exe script when processing HTTP POST data. This can be exploited to deny further administrative access to an affected device via specially a crafted HTTP POST request with a "Connection: Keep-Alive" header.
