Netgear RP114, RP614 vulnerability
Anyone know about the following issues with the Netgear RP114 or Netgear RP614 routers?
1) The DHCP service that assigns IP addresses on the
LAN interfaces is also distributing IP addresses on
the WAN interfaces. This was noticed on the RP614 device.
This causes a problem since multiple DHCP servers are now responding on the WAN interface network. The Netgear device is an unwanted DHCP server.
2) With a workstation connected to the WAN network
side of the DSL router, access to the web admin
service (DSL router web admin) is accessible via the
LAN interfaces default gateway. If the default username and password is configured, access is very easy. If changed, this is a weak protection that is usually not monitored.
3) The netgear dsl router also acts as an anonymous
proxy. The users connected to the WAN interfce network can direct Internet traffic through the DSL routers WAN interface. The DSL router does NAT and hides the IP address of the users private IP address. As wells as the user does not need to use
their public IP address.
