Not to be unhelpful, but SNMP is a UDP protocol, you can't "telnet" to port 161 and be talking to the snmp deamon on the device because it's not listening for that. If you do get a connection, there's really something wrong....I was able to confirm my Ubee was susceptible to this bug and would reboot by simply telneting to IP space on port 161 behind the modem. I figured my random reboots were related to random people port scanning my IP space throughout the day. I called support to let them know and got them to bump it up to their manager, who then referred it to a "technical specialist" that ended up blocking port 161 on my cable modem.
