Scientific Atlanta DPX2100 cable modems are prone to a denial of service vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
These devices are susceptible to a remote denial of service vulnerability when handling TCP 'LanD' packets.
|
|
|
|
This issue allows remote attackers to crash affected devices, or to temporarily block further network routing functionality. This will deny further network services to legitimate users.
|
|
|
|
Scientific Atlanta DPX2100 cable modems are reportedly affected by this issue. Due to code reuse among devices, other devices may also be affected.
|
|
|
|
The following Hping2 command is sufficient to crash affected devices. The IP addresses must both be configured on the targeted device:
|
|
|
|
hping2 -A -S -P -U 1.2.3.4 -s 80 -p 80 -a 192.168.1.1 |
