| Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP2 | Open-source firmware vuln exposes wireless routers "A hacker has discovered a critical vulnerability in open-source firmware available for wireless routers made my Linksys and other manufacturers that allows attackers to remotely penetrate the device and take full control of it. The remote root vulnerability affects the most recent version of DD-WRT, a piece of firmware many router users install to give their device capabilities not available by default. The bug allows unauthenticated users to remotely gain root access simply by luring someone on the local network to a malicious website."
