The vulnerability of the setOpMode() function in the microprogramming software for Linksys routers such as RE6250, RE6300, RE6350, RE6500, RE7000, and RE9000 allows a hacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the setOpMode function in Linksys RE6250, RE6300, RE6350, RE6500, RE7000, and RE9000 routers stems from the operation of processing the ethConv parameter where the data is written outside of the buffer in memory. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute...
