Cisco has released a firmware update for one of its small business routers to address a critical vulnerability that can be exploited for denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and arbitrary code execution.

 

The vulnerability, discovered by researchers from GeekPwn, a China-based IoT-focused hacking competition, affects CVR100W Wireless-N VPN routers. The company said there was no evidence of malicious exploitation.
