“A hacker has uncovered a backdoor to combination wireless router/DSL modems that could allow an attacker to reset a machine’s configuration and gain access to the administrative control panel. The attack, confirmed to work on several Linksys and Netgear devices, exploits an open port accessible over the wireless local network. Confirmations that the backdoor works with other models of Linksys and Netgear wireless DSL modems came flooding in. A commenter on Hacker News noted that the backdoor might affect wireless routers with DSL modems from SerComm, which manufactured many of Linksys’ older DSL modems.”
