Title: Netopia DSL Router Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

All R-series platforms with firmware between 4.3.8 and 4.6.2 (inclusive) allow users who already have access to the router to modify SNMP tables which they should not be able to access. The router has a command-line mode that is reached by typing control-N after the user has passed the intial login test. At the "#" prompt one can then do most management of the device. This includes the setting of SNMP community strings in spite of the limitation imposed by the administrator.

The following devices are confirmed as vulnerable:

R2020 Dual Analog Router
R3100 ISDN Router
R3100-I ISDL Router
R3100-T IDSL router for Covad
