Cisco tells customers to upgrade VPN routers or risk attack

Cisco has advised customers to trade in old Small Business RV VPN routers for newer models, as the old ones have high-severity vulnerabilities that it won’t be patching.

As reported by BleepingComputer, the company recently discovered a vulnerability revolving around insufficient user input validation of incoming HPPT packets. By sending a “specially crafted request” to the web-based management interface of these devices, an attacker could end up with root-level privileges. Essentially, they’d be getting free access to the endpoint (opens in new tab).
