hkm has reported a vulnerability in various 2Wire Routers, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing parameters passed to the "xslt" script. This can be exploited to disrupt network connectivity via a "page" parameter containing a specially crafted value.

Successful exploitation requires that a user e.g. visits a specially crafted web page.

The vulnerability is reported in router models 1700HG, 1701HG, 1800HW, 2071, 2071HG, 2700HG, and 2701HG-T.
