Title: SMC SMC7904WBRA Wireless Router Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

SMC SMC7904WBRA Wireless Router is a wireless network connectivity modem, router, and switch.

A remote denial of service vulnerability affects the SMC SMC7904WBRA Wireless Router. This issue is due to a failure of the application to handle anomalous network traffic.

The problem is reported to present itself when copious amounts of network traffic are targeted at the router. Apparently the router fails to handle the network traffic and reboots. Further information is not available, however this BID will be updated when more details are released.

This issue is triggered by utilizing port-scanning tools against the router (nmap, and amap were specified). Not all scans result in the router rebooting.

An attacker may leverage this issue to cause the affected router to crash, denying service to legitimate users.

Due to code reuse among devices, other products are also likely affected.

Affected Products:

  • SMC SMC7904WBRA 0.0.0
