Linksys DSL Router Default SNMP Community String Vulnerability

Linksys DSL routers are high-speed internet access solutions distributed by the Linksys Group. Linksys DSL routers offer features such as high-speed internet access, switching built into some routers, and Voice-over-IP.

A problem with Linksys routers could make it possible for a remote user to gain sensitive information from a Linksys router. The problem is in the use of a default community string.

Linksys routers include a default community string of "public." By accessing a system using this string, a remote user may be able to gain sensitive information about a network managed by a vulnerable Linksys router.
