AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately inventory their network to identify any Linksys RE6250, RE6300, RE6350, RE6500, RE7000, or RE9000 devices running the affected firmware versions. As no official patches are available, organizations should consider the following specific mitigations: 1) Isolate vulnerable extenders on segmented network zones with strict access controls to limit exposure to untrusted networks. 2) Disable remote management interfaces and restrict management access to trusted internal IP addresses only. 3) Monitor network traffic for anomalous requests targeting /goform/addStaProfile or unusual parameter patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 4) Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems with updated signatures to detect known exploit payloads. 5) Where feasible, replace vulnerable devices with updated hardware or alternative models from vendors with active security support. 6) Implement network-level firewall rules to block unsolicited inbound traffic to extender management ports. 7) Educate IT staff about this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include steps for potential exploitation scenarios. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on containment, detection, and device replacement strategies in the absence of vendor patches.

Description

A vulnerability was detected in Linksys RE6250, RE6300, RE6350, RE6500, RE7000 and RE9000 1.0.013.001/1.0.04.001/1.0.04.002/1.1.05.003/1.2.07.001. This vulnerability affects the function addStaProfile of the file /goform/addStaProfile. Performing manipulation of the argument profile_name/Ssid/wep_key_1/wep_key_2/wep_key_3/wep_key_4/wep_key_length/wep_default_key/cipher/passphrase results in stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is now public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
