DESCRIPTION:
Matteo Ignaccolo has reported a security issue in Linksys WAP610N,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

The security issue is caused due to the device containing a
Telnet-based administration console with an enabled root-user
account. This can be exploited to gain administrative access to the
device by connecting to port 1111/TCP.

The security issue is reported in versions 1.0.00 and 1.0.01.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted hosts only (e.g. via network access
control lists).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Matteo Ignaccolo, Secure Network.
