Linksys Patch Available
Ed posted last week that Linksys Routers were open to vulnerability when subject to a buffer overflow attack. The Inquirer has just put up a story about the patches being available. There's more than just a fix for the BOOTP issue and the full list of fixes is shown below:
- Fixed CGI string attacks issue
Fixed UPnP on Windows XP SP2 issue
Fixed One way audio issue
Fixed NAT-T issue for some VPN connection
Fixed DHCP server revision, fill the siaddr to the server address
Fixed DHCP (BOOTP) vulnerability issue
Added Filter IDENT(port 113) to appear stealth when scanned
Added DHCP option 55 support
Fixed buffer leakage bug
Modified TCP Support RFC 3360 standard
Modified PPPoE/L2TP/PPTP fragmentation supports fragmenting 1 packet into more than 3.
Modified MTU/MRU function for better handling
Firmware upgrades for the following devices: BEFSR11, BEFSR41, BEFSR81, BEFSRU31, BEFW11S4 (except Version 1), can be found here. Still, better late than never eh! :wink:

Sorry, that will teach me to link back to something I read earlier today without double checking the article. It is still funny though.

We can't all celebrate yet. A number of Linksys Routers were implicated in the original article (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16298), yet the only router to have a firmware upgrade so far that addresses the issue is the BEFSR41.
Granted the BEFSR41 is extremely popular and widley adopted, but the fact remains many other Linksys routers are apparently affected and are still waiting to be patched.

Makes me happy that I have a now-discontinued and obscure MN-700 router from that little Microsoft company. :lol:

The link below takes you to Linksys Knowledgebase that links to firmware upgrades for BEFSR11, BEFSR41, BEFSR81, BEFSRU31, BEFW11S4(except Version 1)
Jonathon: your front page post should reflect these devices in the link also, not just the BEFSR41.
