AI-suggested

Immediate mitigation steps include isolating vulnerable Linksys range extenders from critical network segments and restricting remote management access to trusted IP addresses only. Network administrators should disable port forwarding features if not strictly necessary or replace affected devices with models from vendors with timely security support. Employ network-level protections such as intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor and block suspicious traffic targeting the /goform/singlePortForwardAdd endpoint. Regularly scan networks for vulnerable device firmware versions and maintain an asset inventory to identify at-risk devices. Since no official patches are available, organizations should consider deploying network segmentation and strict firewall rules to limit exposure. Additionally, monitoring for unusual device behavior or network traffic anomalies can help detect exploitation attempts early. Engage with Linksys support channels to demand timely remediation and subscribe to vulnerability intelligence feeds for updates. Finally, educate users about the risks of using outdated network devices and encourage prompt hardware upgrades where feasible.

Description

A flaw has been found 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. Affected is the function singlePortForwardAdd of the file /goform/singlePortForwardAdd. This manipulation of the argument ruleName/schedule/inboundFilter causes stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
