The AT-8024 and Rapier 24 switches are ethernet switches distributed by Allied Telesyn. Under some circumstances the affected switches may cease to function properly. When a large stream of UDP data is sent to a vulnerable switch, the device becomes unstable. It has been reported that this type of attack results in a denial of service to the management interface of the device, and may also cause the device to stop routing. ** The vendor has replied stating that they were unable to replicate this vulnerability on the Rapier release 2.4.1 Patch 02.
