The US-CERT has issued a warning regarding a security flaw in the firmware of some Broadcom NetXtreme network cards.

"[A] buffer overflow can be triggered during the processing of Alert Standard Format (ASF) messages, which are exchanged when systems are managed remotely," according to The H Security. "The flaw allows attackers to take full control of the network interface and, for instance, disrupt or redirect network traffic."

"The security hole can only be exploited if remote management using the Remote Management and Control Protocol (RMCP) over the RMCP Security Extensions Protocol (RSP) has been enabled," the article states.
