yet another irc related bug - netgear edition |
||
Yes thats right, there's another bug... Type:
On IRC, in a channel, and certain users of certain netgear products will disconnect. Apparently it works on the 614 and 624 router ranges and apparently some linksys routers too. Its probably to do with the build in firewall/protection. |

Verified on a Netgear 614v6. Also verified that switching to port 8001 on Freenode fixes it. |

Verified to not work on a WGR614v4 (kinda), with the SPI firewall enabled and irc on port 6667. Someone sent DCC SEND 0 0 0 repeatedly in an irc channel. I've tried sending the longer versions to myself, and that didn't do anything either. Does it have to be sent from the outside of the local network? in that case, the long version may still work |

624 here. Verified to cause disconnects for just for IRC. I switched port, maybe it'll help. |

My WGR614v6 was affected, until at someone's suggestion to disable the SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall. Once I did that, poof, no more problems. |

Yeah, for a workaround, if your IRC server allows it, connect to a port other than 6667. Connecting to port 8001 on Freenode stops the exploit. |

It can also be fewer than 14 characters. Basically, you just have to make it so that the one or more of the four parameters at the end isn't sane and *b3Wm* |

Yes, netgear is verified. WG624 to be precise. |

Appears to affect at least one version of the Linksys WRT54g as well. Funx0rs! |

Confirmed that DCC and SEND both need to be caps. |

I was playing with it and it is Netgear. I am affected by it... gg netgear |

ok just tested it: DCC SEND 12345678901234 did not work DCC SEND 123456789012345 did |

Works on Norton firewalls as well (provided they are out of date). Doesn't need the "" round what you send either. |
