Description:

The Shiva LanRover has no password set for the
root user account. An attacker is able to telnet
to this system and gain access to any phone lines
attached to this device. Additionally, the LanRover
can be used as a relay point for further attacks
via the telnet and rlogin functionality available
from the administration shell.

Solution: Telnet to this device and change the
password for the root account via the passwd
command. Please ensure any other accounts have
strong passwords set.

Risk factor : High
