Description: A denial of service vulnerability was reported in the AirStation wireless access point from Buffalo Technology. A remote user can cause the device to crash and restart.
Arhont Ltd. reported that a remote user can conduct a port scan against the web port to cause the access point device to restart. A demonstration exploit using the 'nmap' port scanning tool in protocol detection mode is provided:
$ nmap -sVVV -p 80 [target_host_IP]
According to the report, a remote user can also connect to the web port using telnet (or another similar utility) and sending the unquoted strings "GET / HTTP/1.0" or "get " to cause the device to restart.
The vendor has reportedly been notified.
Impact: A remote user can cause the device to restart.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
