  Netcomm 1300NB DSL Modem DoS
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

The  <http://www.netcomm.com.au/ADSL/adsl.php#NB1300> NB1300 "top-selling 
ADSL Modem with Router connects one computer or a small network to a 
high-speed Internet service through the USB interface or 10/100 Ethernet".

The 1300NB DSL modem is vulnerable for denial of service attack when 
attempting to use a ping or other ICMP floods.

DETAILS

The Netcomm 1300NB DSL Modem is vulnerable to a denial of service attack 
that can be triggered by sending a large amount of big ICMP echo packets. 
Once the attack has been initated the WAN interface on the Netcomm DSL 
Modem will lock itself up and the device must be rebooted to get Internet 
connectivity.

Example:
By issuing the following command in three different shell/cmd:
ping -l 65500 -w 0 -t <IP of DSL Modem>

Followed by a normal ping to the device will cause the device to lock up 
until its reboot.
