Summary

Linksys WRT54G routers, specifically version 5 running on the VXWorks operating system, are susceptible to a denial of service attack.

The issue is linked to the NAT code handling and can be exploited using a DCC SEND with one long argument or by providing IP, port, and zero filesize, leading to connection resets and impacts on network communication.
