提交 #87904: DoS attack on the web management interface of Netgear router WNDR3700v2

# DoS attack on the web triggered by only one request

## Overview of the Vulnerability

There exists a DoS attack on the web management interface of Netgear router WNDR3700v2(referring to: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/WNDR3700v2.aspx,latest firmware version:x.x.x.x), which is triggered by only one crafted request. After the attack, the web server crashed for about 1 minute, so cannot respond to any visit.

This DoS attack is easily performed and causes a critical impact on the router device. Only just one malformed request can disable the router's web service.

## Business Impact

Application-level DoS can result in indirect financial loss for the business through the attacker’s ability to DoS the application. These malicious actions could also result in reputational damage for the business through the impact on customers’ trust.

## Steps to Reproduce

I have put the POC code in the next section(save the code into poc.py), configure several parameters, then execute the POC, and the web management service will be damaged. The parameters are as below:
1. username, password: to visit the device's web interface (default: admin, password).
2. device_web_ip: web IP address of the target device.

After executing the POC script, then trying to visit the router web management interface(or 'telnet device_web_ip 80'), you will find web service goes down.

password = 'password'
