    :      I have a 3Com CoreBuilder 3500 running software version 2.1.0 that
    : has been falling over a lot over the last few days.

    : CoreBuilder to fall over, but it is highly likely.
    
    ... i've noticed a similar problem with a cisco 675 ADSL router.  in
    particular, i've had to do a cold boot three (3) times 'since' the CR-II
    attack started.  i had disabled the web command interface, and checking
    revealed that still the case.
    
        what i did however, was to assign a port other than the default
    (sorry) of '80'.  the device has been up 21 hours, despite an order of
    magnitude greater CR-II attempts.  my server is not published, but in the
    last 5 days, i've seen 22, 25, 25, 47, and 60 (so far today:  ~16:00 PDT)
    events ...
