What is CVE-2002-1236?

The remote management web server in the Linksys BEFSR41 EtherFast Cable/DSL Router prior to firmware version 1.42.7 is susceptible to a denial of service issue. Specifically, unauthorized remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending an HTTP request to the Gozila.cgi script without any arguments, causing the router to crash. This leads to service disruption, making it essential to upgrade to secure firmware to mitigate risks.
