Detailed Description 3Com NBX VoIP NetSet is running on the remote host.
The 3Com NBX running firmware version 4.2.7 uses VxWorks Embedded Real time Operating system and the embedded web server, Virata-EmWeb/R6_0_3. This web server is vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by insufficient user input checking. By simply running a port scanning/vulnerability scanning engine against the device using a tool, such as Nessus in safeChecks mode, it could effectively cause the NBX NetSet Web server to crash. A hard reboot is required to restore normal functionality.

* Note: This check doesn't perform an actually test to assess this vulnerability but solely relied on the presence of NBX NetSet web server, so this might be a false positive.
