Foundry DoS at login prompt

In the release notes for Foundry code v07.1.09, I noticed the statement: If you entered a very long string when prompted for a Telnet password, then pressed Enter before the software timed out the access attempt, the device reset. This functions exactly as it describes on FastIrons, BigIrons, and ServerIrons I have access to running various versions of firmware. If you can get to a login prompt, you can reload the device. This does not appear to affect ssh logins, which recent versions of the Foundry firmware support. If you have any Foundry gear with externally visible IPs, make sure you disable telnet or upgrade your firmware to the latest. This is particularly true if you use their load-balancer product, the ServerIron, which also supposedly functions to keep your site highly available. -- Aaron
