Well, had you bothered to contact Netopia first, (what!, you didn't! shame on you!), you would have found that the problem has been resolved for some time now. The version of firmware against which you are reporting this problem (4.6) is close to a year old. The current version of firmware is 4.8.2, or two feature releases and a number of bug fixes removed. Please upgrade to 4.8.2. In the future, you should report security problems to security () netopia com or call Netopia Tech Support and have the problem logged so that it can either be fixed, or as in this case, you can be directed to upgrade your firmware. rwt ps. Whose router do you have passwords to anyhow:^? And why are you trying to delete the logs:^? --- Robert Tashjian rwt () netopia com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julien Henry" <nyc1660 () FREESURF FR> To: <BUGTRAQ () SECURITYFOCUS COM> Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 1:59 PM Subject: Make The Netopia R9100 Router To Crash
This post will be short because it does not need a lot of explanation. This is in a really specific case. If you have the password of the router and if you are logged to it you will not be able to delete all the traces. The router logs the connection and the disconnection of telnet sessions. If you want to delete the connection from the logs you just have to delete them. But if you want to delete the disconnection log you can't. The only way to do that is to make it crash. Just use the telnet program which is inside the router. Try to make a connection from the IP of the router to the IP of the router. It will crash it, as a consequence, you will NOT be logged ! In the log you only see things like that : 01/24/01 01:01:15 --BOOT: Warm start v4.6 ---- 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: A6: 12F6890, A7: 12F67DC 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: A4: 0, A5: 124B474 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: A2: 125F9AC, A3: 0 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: A0: 125F9D8, A1: 0 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: D6: 0, D7: C1FB0028 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: D4: 0, D5: 0 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: D2: 0, D3: 0 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: D0: 0, D1: 6 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: BERR SF SP+$10: 10845AE, SP+$14: E0045 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: BERR SF SP+$08: 83A, SP+$0C: FFFFF9AC 01/24/01 01:01:10 * EXCEPTION: PC: 10845AE, SR: 2004, F/V: C008
