ZyXEL Prestige Router Authentication Password Field Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability

ZyXEL Prestige routers are reported prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. The issue is reported to exist due to a lack of boundary checks performed on password string data handled by the device authentication interface.

A remote attacker who has access to the authentication interface of the affected appliance may trigger a device reset at will, effectively denying service to legitimate users.
