.:: SUMMARY
        
        Prestige 650R-31 (ADSL Router)
            -CPU exausting handling malformed fragmented packets
        
        Affected ZyNOS FW v3.40(KO.1)
        
        It is suspected that all previous versions of ZyNOS are vulnerable.
        
.:: BACKGROUND

    Zyxel Prestige 600 Series, A Popular ADSL (Modem | Router)  
                www.zyxel.com           


.:: DESCRIPTION
        
        Prestige 650R-31 fails handling malformed fragmented IP packets
        The Cpu goes up to 100% when the attack is re-assembled and processed.
        
                        
.:: EXPLOIT     
        Any ip crafting tool will  do the job, in this case we used 
        a fragmented ip generator coded by Fryx

.:: IMPACT
        
        Total loss of conectivity and forwarding, at least for 1 minute.
        If you send more amount of fragmented packages mores is the denial
        duration.
        
.:: EXTRA
        
        These procedures where done in a local way
        Remote attacks where not yet made.      
        
        
.:: FIX
        The vendor claims its not a vulnerability, that is rather a "Hardware 
Limitation"
        But seems an the last release of it's firmware fixed the problem.  
        Upgrade the firmware to V3.40(GT.5)
