Title: SonicWALL SOHO Denial of Service Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

SonicWALL SOHO provides a secure internet connection for a network.

SonicWALL SOHO is subject to a denial of service. By specifying an unusually long username on the authentication page, SonicWALL SOHO will stop responding and refuse any new connections. This has been verified to last for up to 30 seconds until functionality resumes, although a restart of the service may be required in order to gain normal functionality. In addition, it has been verified that this vulnerability is exploitable by way of various malformed HTTP requests.

This vulnerability may be the result of a buffer overflow, although not verified this could lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the target host.

Affected Products:

  • SonicWALL SOHO 4.0.0.0
  • SonicWALL SOHO 5.0.0.0
