CVE-2016-1397: Buffer overflow in the web-based management interface on Cisco RV110W devices with firmware before 1.2.1.7,...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1397 affects the web-based management interface of Cisco RV110W, RV130W, and RV215W routers on older firmware. An authenticated remote user can trigger a buffer overflow that reloads the device, causing service disruption. Exposure is most likely in small office or branch networks still running these older Cisco RV router models with web management reachable by authenticated users. The source bundle does not identify internet-wide exposure, default configuration impact, or unauthenticated access. Treat this as a reliability and perimeter-device hygiene issue. Prioritize remediation where these routers support business-critical connectivity or expose management interfaces broadly. It is less urgent than confirmed exploited or unauthenticated remote code execution issues, based on the provided evidence. Mitigation focus: Upgrade RV110W firmware to 1.2.1.7 or later.; Upgrade RV130W firmware to 1.0.3.16 or later.; Upgrade RV215W firmware to 1.3.0.8 or later..
