Denial of Service Vulnerability in Netgear Routing Devices

CVE-2005-4220

Summary

The Netgear RP114 router, along with potentially other models, is susceptible to a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to initiate a denial of service condition. This is achieved through a SYN flood attack that disrupts communication and routing functionalities between the internal and external interfaces of the device. As a consequence, legitimate traffic may be halted temporarily, impacting the network's overall performance and accessibility.
