CVE-2013-1634Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Network interface hang via EEPROM-triggering packet bytes

Published Feb 13, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Denial of service in Intel 82574L controllers through 2013-02-06 allows remote attackers to halt network processing via crafted packets. An incorrectly configured EEPROM image makes the controller enter a non-processing state when it parses byte value 0x32, 0x33, or 0x34 at frame offset 0x47f. Only affected motherboard implementations are exposed; the interface hang persists across a reboot and requires a physical power cycle.
