Cisco » IOS : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 4 and 4.99

Cisco IOS before 15.1(1)SY allows local users to cause a denial of service (device reload) by establishing an outbound SSH session, aka Bug ID CSCto00318.

The IOS Shell in Cisco IOS allows local users to cause a denial of service (device crash) via unspecified commands, aka Bug ID CSCur59696.

Multiple vulnerabilities that affect Cisco Catalyst Digital Building Series Switches and Cisco Catalyst Micro Switches could allow an attacker to execute persistent code at boot time or to permanently prevent the device from booting, resulting in a permanent denial of service (DoS) condition. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory.

A vulnerability in the web framework code of Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web interface of the affected software using the banner parameter. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of the banner parameters that are passed to the web server of the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a banner parameter and saving it. The attacker could then convince a user of the web interface to access a malicious link or could intercept a user request for the affected web interface and inject malicious code into the request. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected web interface or allow the attacker to access sensitive browser-based information.

Cisco 6000, 6500, and 7600 series systems with Multilayer Switch Feature Card 2 (MSFC2) and a FlexWAN or OSM module allow local users to cause a denial of service (hang or reset) by sending a layer 2 frame packet that encapsulates a layer 3 packet, but has inconsistent length values with that packet.

A vulnerability in the Cisco IOS Software forwarding queue of Cisco 2960X and 3750X switches could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a memory leak in the software forwarding queue that would eventually lead to a partial denial of service (DoS) condition. More Information: CSCva72252. Known Affected Releases: 15.2(2)E3 15.2(4)E1. Known Fixed Releases: 15.2(2)E6 15.2(4)E3 15.2(5)E1 15.2(5.3.28i)E1 15.2(6.0.49i)E 3.9(1)E.

A vulnerability in 802.1x function of Cisco IOS Software on the Catalyst 6500 Series Switches could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to access the network prior to authentication. The vulnerability is due to how the 802.1x packets are handled in the process path. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by attempting to connect to the network on an 802.1x configured port. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to intermittently obtain access to the network.

A vulnerability in the 802.1X feature of Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches and Cisco Catalyst CDB-8P Switches could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to forward broadcast traffic before being authenticated on the port. The vulnerability exists because broadcast traffic that is received on the 802.1X-enabled port is mishandled. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending broadcast traffic on the port before being authenticated. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to send and receive broadcast traffic on the 802.1X-enabled port before authentication.

The TCL shell in Cisco IOS 12.2(14)S before 12.2(14)S16, 12.2(18)S before 12.2(18)S11, and certain other releases before 25 January 2006 does not perform Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) command authorization checks, which may allow local users to execute IOS EXEC commands that were prohibited via the AAA configuration, aka Bug ID CSCeh73049.

Certain Cisco IOS releases in 12.2S based trains with maintenance release number 25 and later, 12.3T based trains, and 12.4 based trains reuse a Tcl Shell process across login sessions of different local users on the same terminal if the first user does not use tclquit before exiting, which may cause subsequent local users to execute unintended commands or bypass AAA command authorization checks, aka Bug ID CSCef77770.

The ACL implementation in Cisco IOS before 15.1(1)SY on Catalyst 6500 and 7600 devices allows local users to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a "no object-group" command followed by an object-group command, aka Bug ID CSCts16133.

The crypto engine process in Cisco IOS on Aggregation Services Router (ASR) Route Processor 2 does not properly manage memory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (route processor crash) by creating multiple tunnels and then examining encryption statistics, aka Bug ID CSCuc52193.

A vulnerability in conditional, verbose debug logging for the IPsec feature of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to display sensitive IPsec information in the system log file. The vulnerability is due to incorrect implementation of IPsec conditional, verbose debug logging that causes sensitive information to be written to the log file. This information should be restricted. An attacker who has valid administrative credentials could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the device and enabling conditional, verbose debug logging for IPsec and viewing the log file. An exploit could allow the attacker to access sensitive information related to the IPsec configuration. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvf12081.

A vulnerability in the Secure Storage feature of Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to access sensitive system information on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper memory operations performed at encryption time, when affected software handles configuration updates. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by retrieving the contents of specific memory locations of an affected device. A successful exploit could result in the disclosure of keying materials that are part of the device configuration, which can be used to recover critical system information.

Cisco IOS 11.1(x) through 11.3(x) and 12.0(x) through 12.2(x), when configured for BGP routing, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via malformed BGP (1) OPEN or (2) UPDATE messages.

Cisco IOS 12.2E, 12.2F, and 12.2S places a "no login" line into the VTY configuration when an administrator makes certain changes to a (1) VTY/AUX or (2) CONSOLE setting on a device without AAA enabled, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain a terminal session, a different vulnerability than CVE-1999-0293 and CVE-2005-2105.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Cisco IOS allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, and execute IOS commands, via unspecified vectors, aka PSIRT-2022590358. NOTE: as of 20071016, the only disclosure is a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, since it is from a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the HTTP server in Cisco IOS 11.0 through 12.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the query string to the ping program or (2) unspecified other aspects of the URI.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the HTTP server in Cisco IOS 12.4(23) allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH_INFO to the default URI under (1) level/15/exec/-/ or (2) exec/, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-3821.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in +webvpn+/index.html in WebVPN on the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) 5520 with software 7.2(4)30 and earlier 7.2 versions including 7.2(2)22, and 8.0(4)28 and earlier 8.0 versions, when clientless mode is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the Host HTTP header.

The Object Groups for Access Control Lists (ACLs) feature in Cisco IOS 12.2XNB, 12.2XNC, 12.2XND, 12.4MD, 12.4T, 12.4XZ, and 12.4YA allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted requests, aka Bug IDs CSCsx07114, CSCsu70214, CSCsw47076, CSCsv48603, CSCsy54122, and CSCsu50252.

The extended ACL functionality in Cisco IOS 12.2(58)SE2 and 15.0(1)SE discards all lines that end with a log or time keyword, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by sending network traffic, aka Bug ID CSCts01106.

Cisco IOS 15.1 and 15.2, when the Multicast Music-on-Hold (MMoH) feature of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) is enabled, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive crosstalk information by listening during a PSTN call, aka Bug ID CSCtx77750.

Cisco IOS before 15.3(1)T on Cisco 2900 devices, when a VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 card is configured for TDM/HDLC mode, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (serial-interface outage) via certain Frame Relay traffic, aka Bug ID CSCub13317.

Cisco IOS before 15.3(2)T, when scansafe is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (latency) via SYN packets that are not accompanied by SYN-ACK packets from the Scan Safe Tower, aka Bug ID CSCub85451.
