- Subject: 3Com HiPer ARC vulnerable to nestea attack
-
- We found 3Com's HiPer ARCs running system version 4.1.11
- being vulnerable to the nestea DoS attack. The cards simply
- crash and reboot.
-
-
- The multi DoS tool targa v1.1
- http://www.rootshell.com/archive-j457nxiqi3gq59dv/199806/targa.c.html
- started with the nestea option can be used for demonstration.
-
-
- *sigh* As already mentioned on Bugtraq in the past, 3Com/USR's IP
- stacks are not very resistant against this specific kind of DoS attack:
-
- NetServer card: http://geek-girl.com/bugtraq/1998_4/0198.html
- PalmPilot: http://geek-girl.com/bugtraq/1998_2/0138.html

- >From my experiences 3Com has fixed this bug in the recent Total Control
- NetServer card code base. Apparently it was re-introduced by the HiPer ARC.
