This signature detects attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in Lucent and Ascend routers. Attackers can send a maliciously crafted packet to the DISCARD port of the router to obtain confidential information. This information can be used to further compromise the system.
Several Lucent Router product lines include support for a configuration tool which communicates over UDP on port 9. If a specially crafted packet is sent to some of these devices on UDP port 9, a response is issued which contains sensitive information. This information may be of aid in further attacks against the network or device.
