We don't do this with any other product, why should we with PCs? If you don't like the GoodYear tires on your car, you don't go up to them asking for a refund for just the tires.

Critical Flaw Discovered In DD-WRT 225

Posted by kdawson on Friday July 24, 2009 @09:58AM from the my-router-my-self dept.

MagicM writes "A critical flaw has been discovered in DD-WRT, a Linux based alternative open source firmware for WLAN routers such as the fan-favorite Linksys WRT54GL. The flaw can give an attacker instant root access to the router merely by embedding an image with a specially crafted URL in a Web page (CSRF attack)." The linked page notes that a fix is being rolled out (build 12533) and gives firewall rules to thwart the attack if the fix is not available yet for a particular device.
