VAR-201701-0755

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:32

An issue was discovered on the ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router with Firmware 3.0.0.4.374_979. When executing an "nmap -O" command that specifies an IP address of an affected device, one can crash the device's WAN connection, causing disconnection from the Internet, a Denial of Service (DoS). The attack is only possible from within the local area network. A security vulnerability exists in ASUSRT-N56UWirelessRouter using firmware version 3.0.0.4.374_979. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability to cause the device's WAN connection to crash, the network to fail to connect, and a denial of service. ASUS RT-N56U is prone to an unspecified denial-of-service vulnerability

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

    Related by attack behaviour

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
