Re: [Full-disclosure] Netgear DG632 Router Remote DoS Vulnerability

["sr." <staticrez@xxxxxxxxx>]

it could still be carried out remotely by obfuscating a link sent to the
"admin" of the device. this would obviously rely on the admin clicking on
the link, and is more of a phishing / social engineering style attack. this
would also rely on the router being setup with all of the default internal
LAN ip's.
