The remote router is affected by multiple flaws.

Description :

The remote host appears to be a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router.

The firmware version installed on the remote host is prone to several
flaws,

  • Execute arbitrary commands on the affected router with root privilages.

  • Download and replace the configuration of affected routers via a special
    POST request to the ‘restore.cgi’ or ‘upgrade.cgi’ scripts.

  • Allow remote attackers to obtain encrypted configuration information and,
    if the key is known, modify the configuration.

  • Degrade the performance of affected devices and cause the Web server
    to become unresponsive, potentially denying service to legitimate users.
