Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Gateway WAG54GS V2.0 Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Gateway WAG54GS V2.0 is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to sufficiently verify buffer boundaries before copying user-supplied data.

Exploiting this vulnerability may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application.
