Vulnerability Description
-------------------------
Certain Precidia Ether232 devices contain memory overwrite and authentication
flaws.
By making malformed GET requests to the built-in web server on certain Precidia
Ether232 devices, it is possible to arbitrarily overwrite memory on the device
and cause unknown impact.
Solution Description
--------------------
At this point in time, Precidia Technologies has not provided a firmware
upgrade addressing the memory corruption flaw. As a workaround, Precidia
Technologies suggests that users disable the web server on the device through
the serial or telnet configuration interface.
Tested Systems / Software (with versions)
------------------------------------------
Precidia Ether3201-232 w/ firmware 3.00.250
Precidia Ether232 Duo w/ firmware 5.00.02
Other versions are believed to be vulnerable.
