What is CVE-2002-2355?

The Netgear FM114P wireless firewall's firmware version 1.3 has a vulnerability that results in the insecure storage of sensitive information. When configured to back up its settings, the device inadvertently saves critical data such as Dynamic DNS (DDNS) usernames and passwords, as well as MAC address filtering tables, in cleartext. This exposes confidential information to local users, potentially allowing unauthorized access or misuse of the firewall's configurations. Proper security measures are essential to mitigate risks associated with this oversight.
