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.
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.
Precidia Ether3201-232 w/ firmware 3.00.250
Precidia Ether232 Duo w/ firmware 5.00.02
Other versions are believed to be vulnerable.
