DESCRIPTION:
Jason Edelstein has reported a vulnerability in NetGear WNDRMAC,
which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive
information.
The weakness is caused due to the device disclosing the questions and
answers for the password reset functionality via unauth.cgi within the
returned HTML source code and this can be exploited to gain access to
administrative credentials.
Successful exploitation requires a previous, successfully completed
password recovery.
The weakness is reported in versions 1.0.0.22 and prior.
SOLUTION:
Restrict network access to the device to trusted hosts only.
