Packeteer PacketShaper Web Management DoS
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

Packeteer PacketShaper's web management interface has been found to
contain a vulnerability where a read-only access user to the system can
cause it to hang by sending it a malformed request.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* Packeteer PacketShaper version 7.3.0g2
* Packeteer PacketShaper version 7.5.0g1

Packeteer PacketShaper is susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability
in the web management interface. Requesting a specific URL will cause the
device to reboot:
http://(target)/rpttop.htm?OP.MEAS.DATAQUERY=&MEAS.TYPE=

The user must first log in but even read-only "look" access is sufficient.
