Description

Orinoco RG-1000 wireless Residential Gateway uses the last 5 digits of the 'Network Name' or SSID as the default Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption key. Since the SSID occurs in the clear during communications, a remote attacker could determine the WEP key and decrypt RG-1000 traffic.
