Up to 13.5 million Arris modems vulnerable to reboot attacks

The SB6141 model Arris (formerly Motorola) SURFboard modem is vulnerable to unauthenticated reboot attacks due to two flaws. The flaws are easily patchable in theory, but they are not consumer-upgradable in practice. Arris has yet to create a firmware update that requires authentication before someone can use the UI to reboot or reset the modem. This process takes as long as a half hour to complete, though in some cases it could take an additional phone call to the internet service provider (ISP) to reactivate.”]
