Misfortune Cookie flaw exposes more than 12 million SOHO routers to the risk of a cyber attack

More than 12 million devices are vulnerable to a simple attack that could compromise their home routers exploiting a vulnerability called Misfortune Cookie. The vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to run a man-in-the-middle attack on traffic going to and from home routers from every manufacturer. An attacker could remote target other devices on a local network, such as a smart TV or a printer. Manufacturers and vendors announced an imminent release of a new firmware and software update, but the fear of security experts is that the device owner will not install them leaving the devices exposed to the attacks.”]
