land.c is this program

I tried it against a 7505 running 11.2(9)P and a 2511 running 11.2(7a),
with no obvious bad effects. The announcement does not indicate which
IOS versions are vulnerable; I'd love to know.

Snipit of a message on bugtraq dated today..


Ascend Pipeline 50 rev 5.0Ap13          NOT vulnerable
Cisco IOS 10.3(7)                       IS  vulnerable
Cisco 2511 IOS ???                      IS  vulnerable
Cisco 753 IOS ???                       IS  vulnerable
LaserJet Printer                        NOT vulnerable

Livingston PM* ComOS 3.5b17 + 3.7.2     NOT vulnerable
NCD X Terminals, NCDWare v3.2.1         IS  vulnerable


Off of another message..

I just tested land.c on a cisco 753 router running version 4.0 of the os.
It DID freeze the router when I hit it on port 23.  The router wasn't able
to reach the internal lan or the wan and some lights on the front of the
router were frozen also.  I couldn't ping or telnet to the router, the
only way to restart it is a hard reboot.
