CVE-2014-2178: Cisco RV routers admin interface can be hijacked

CVE-2014-2178 · published 12 years ago

Summary

The web-based management pages on certain Cisco RV routers (RV120W, RV180, RV180W, RV220W) can be tricked into letting an attacker take over an administrator's login. This could give the attacker control over the router settings. Update the router firmware to the latest version released by Cisco to close this gap.
