CVE-2025-9146 (GCVE-0-2025-9146)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-19 16:02 – Updated: 2025-08-19 19:20
VLAI?
Summary
A flaw has been found in Linksys E5600 1.1.0.26. The affected element is the function verify_gemtek_header of the file checkFw.sh of the component Firmware Handler. Executing manipulation can lead to risky cryptographic algorithm. The attack may be launched remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. The exploitability is described as difficult. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
