--
Affected Systems:
All devices using this chip.

--
Attack Scenarios:
The attacker needs to craft a special URI including chip.ini with a request for a file on the system.

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple

--
False Positives:
None Known

--
False Negatives:
None Known

--
Corrective Action:
Network devices using this chip should be closely monitored, access to the embedded webserver should be carefully controlled using a firewall or disabled where possible.
