Cisco patches multiple vulnerabilities in wireless routers

Cisco has released patches to fix the vulnerability in its Wireless-N VPN Router family and the Wireless-N VPN Firewall. The company said that the flaw is due to a problem in the way that the routers handle authentication requests.

"The vulnerability is due to improper handling of authentication requests by the web framework," Cisco said in a security advisory published Wednesday. "An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by intercepting, modifying and resubmitting an authentication request. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could give an attacker administrative-level access to the web-based administration interface on the affected device."

Users are advised to update the firmware of the affected devices because there are no available workarounds. The patched firmware versions are: Cisco CVR100W Wireless-N VPN Router firmware version 1.0.1.21, Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall firmware version 1.2.0.10 and Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Router firmware version 1.1.0.6.

Cisco says that it isn't aware of ay public exploits for this vulnerability or any attack attempts against it yet.
