Description:
Rafel Ivgi has reported a vulnerability in 2Wire routers, allowing malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The "/wra/public/wralogin/" script, which can be accessed through the HTTPS interface, fails to verify input supplied in the "return" parameter. This can be exploited to view the content of arbitrary files via classic directory traversal attacks using the "../" character sequence.
Solution:
Allow only connections from management stations.
