Description:
Federico Kirschbaum has reported a vulnerability in ZyXEL ZyNOS, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of malformed fragmented IP packets. This can be exploited to cause a vulnerable router to consume a large amount of CPU resources.

The vulnerability has been reported in Prestige 650R-31 running ZyNOS FW 3.40 (KO.1). Other Prestige routers and versions of ZyNOS may also be affected.

NOTE: According to the original advisory, the vulnerability was only tested on the local interface. It is therefore not currently known whether the external interface also is affected.
