CVE-2012-6371

Exp

The WPA2 implementation on the Belkin N900 F9K1104v1 router establishes a WPS PIN based on 6 digits of the LAN/WLAN MAC address, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access to a Wi-Fi network by reading broadcast packets, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4366.
