Linksys BEFVP41 IP Options Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Linksys BEFVP41 routers are susceptible to a remote denial of service vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the devices to properly handle unexpected network traffic.

This issue allows remote attackers to crash affected devices, denying service to legitimate users.

Reportedly, attackers must be located on the internal network, and be able to pass traffic through the router to exploit this issue. It may also be possible from the external side of the network, but this has not been confirmed.
