Discussion

Telindus ADSL Router Encryption Scheme Weakness

A weakness has been discovered in the encryption algorithm used by Telindus ADSL routers. Due to the use of a weak algorithm, as well as various static values within an encrypted packet, it may be possible for a remote attacker to decipher sensitive router information.

By sniffing sensitive network traffic sent by the router, it may be possible for an attacker to deduce the administrator password.

It should be noted that this issue is partially derived from the vulnerability described in BID 4946.
