Linksys BEFSR41 and BEFW11S4 Routers contain a flaw that may allow an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered due to an error within the integrated DHCP server when handling BOOTP packets, which could be exploited by an malicious user to cause the device to crash, resulting in a router memory disclosure and loss of confidentiality.
