Misfortune Cookie

ID2015

A vulnerability which uses a malformed Cookie to take control of many SOHO routers,  has been identified by Checkpoint and dubbed Misfortune Cookie with the label CVE-2014-9222

Do the latest Mac virus definitions from Sophos protect against this?

    Because if it is a malformed Cookie which then attacks the router it should qualify as malware and hence be detectable.  There must presumably be an executable element in it.

    Unless of course I've misunderstood the way it operates.....
