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

Adrian,

  If  you  can execute javascript - what is a reason to wait for user to
  click  the  link? The message I reply stated there is no need to force
  user  to  visit  Web  page  and clicking the obfuscated link _sent_ to
  admin is enougth. I replied in this case only GET request is possible.
  Read the thread carefully before making conclusions.

>>>> TN> file called "firmwarecfg".  This file is used for firmware upgrades.  A
>>>> HTTP
>>>> TN> POST

>>>>
>>>> TN> While the router will still continue to function at the network level,
>>>> i.e.
>>>> TN> it will
>>>> TN> still respond to ICMP echo requests and issue leases via DHCP, an
>>>> TN> administrator will
>>>> TN> no longer be able to interact with the administrative web interface.
>>>>
>>>> TN> This attack can be carried out internally within the network, or over

>>>> TN> Internet
>>>> TN> if the administrator has enabled the "Remote Management" feature on the
