Description

There exists a buffer overflow vulnerability in certain
Cable Modem Spectrum Analyzer interfaces. This overflow
is exploitable, but since an exploit would differ between
every make, model, and firmware version (which also
differs from ISP to ISP), this module simply causes a
Denial of Service to test if the vulnerability is present.
