Summary

Netgear 614 and 624 routers, possibly running VXWorks, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a malformed DCC SEND string to an IRC channel, which causes an IRC connection reset, possibly related to the masquerading code for NAT environments, and as demonstrated via (1) a DCC SEND with a single long argument, or (2) a DCC SEND with IP, port, and filesize arguments with a 0 value. This vulnerability may affects NetGear Router models 614 and 624 (including WGR614, WGT624, WGT624SC, WGU624, and possibly others) and is most likely related to VXWorks.
