Summary

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to disrupt service on Netgear 614 and 624 routers that may run VXWorks. By sending a malformed DCC SEND string to an IRC channel, an attacker can trigger an IRC connection reset. This issue may stem from the NAT masquerading code, leading to vulnerabilities where a DCC SEND with long arguments or zero values can effectively cause a denial of service.
