Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Linksys WAP4400N, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or bypass security restrictions.
The first issue is caused by an error when processing malformed association requests while the access point is in WEP mode, which could be exploited to crash an affected device, creating a denial of service condition.
