Hi to everyone,
I just found a bug that could be dangerous if you don’t have remote access to the device affected.
BUG:
If you try to edit a remote RouterBoard Script using Telnet/SSH terminal and you edit a line of code longer than the terminal screen size, your RouterBoard will be freezed. You could try to reconnect, but after Login you will only get the ASCII Mikrotik login screen but no prompt commands…
The device still routing traffic, but the CPU will be 100% load (gathered via SNMP).
The only Solution is to manually reboot the device (power-off and power-on)
Device Affected:
RB922UAGS-5HPacD
RB2011UiAS
Possible More
ROS Version:
6.28 , 6.29.1 , …
Possible More
SSH/Telnet Terminal-Client:
Debian 7, Debian 8..
xterm, konsole, etc..
Not tested with (Windows-Putty).
Only Known-Solution yet:
- Edit scripts at local and upload them to the RouterBoard.
- Only edit remote scripts with a Full-Screen Terminal if you are going to do it
Greetings!
