D-LINK DWL-2000AP+ remote DoS



D-LINK DWL-2000AP+ with firmware version 2.11 is prone to two remote denial of 
service vulnerability because it fails to handle arp flooding. 
The first vuln causes the wireless link (802.11) to be resetted and the arp 
table to be rebuilded. All clients connected to the AP are disconnected.
This bug can be triggered by sending lots of arp replies through the wired link 
or the radio one at a very high speed.
The second vulnerability affects the wireless link only and are quite harder to 
trigger but causes the AP firmware to crash making a manual reboot mandatory.
This bug can be triggered only if no other D-LINK ethernet products are visible 
to AP, if wep encryption is enabled and it needs a very large amount of 
arp-requests to be broadcasted through its wireless link at a very high speed. 
This exploit works in the 90% of cases because sometimes the AP is able to ban 
the flooding client before the exploiting process is complete.
D-LINK doesn't support this product anymore so no solution is available.
Other products can be vulnerable.

Not vulnerable: DWL-700AP


Proof-of-concept availale, 
it floods an ethernet device with arp-reply or arp-request
