An easily exploitable software vulnerability in a common home networking router by Linksys Group could expose thousands of home users to denial-of-service attacks, according to a security advisory issued by IDefense, a software security company.
Linksys is one of a number of companies that sell low-priced network gear to small-office and home-office customers. The product, the Linksys BEFSR41 EtherFast Cable/DSL Router, is a low-cost router that allows two or more computers to share an Ethernet or broadband Internet connection.
