The HTTP server in Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via a URL containing a "?/" string.

HTTP server for Cisco IOS 11.3 to 12.2 allows attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands, when local authorization is being used, by specifying a high access level in the URL.

Cisco IOS Firewall Feature set, aka Context Based Access Control (CBAC) or Cisco Secure Integrated Software, for IOS 11.2P through 12.2T does not properly check the IP protocol type, which could allow remote attackers to bypass access control lists.

PPTP implementation in Cisco IOS 12.1 and 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed packet.

Cisco IOS 12.0(5)XU through 12.1(2) allows remote attackers to read system administration and topology information via an "snmp-server host" command, which creates a readable "community" community string if one has not been previously created.

Cisco IOS 11.1CC through 12.2 with Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) enabled includes portions of previous packets in the padding of a MAC level packet when the MAC packet's length is less than the IP level packet length.

Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.2, when supporting SSH, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large packet that was designed to exploit the SSH CRC32 attack detection overflow (CVE-2001-0144).

Multiple SSH2 servers and clients do not properly handle packets or data elements with incorrect length specifiers, which may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by the SSHredder SSH protocol test suite.

Multiple SSH2 servers and clients do not properly handle lists with empty elements or strings, which may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by the SSHredder SSH protocol test suite.

Multiple SSH2 servers and clients do not properly handle large packets or large fields, which may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated by the SSHredder SSH protocol test suite.

Multiple SSH2 servers and clients do not properly handle strings with null characters in them when the string length is specified by a length field, which could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code due to interactions with the use of null-terminated strings as implemented using languages such as C, as demonstrated by the SSHredder SSH protocol test suite.

Cisco IOS software 11.3 through 12.2 running on Cisco uBR7200 and uBR7100 series Universal Broadband Routers allows remote attackers to modify Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) settings via a DOCSIS file without a Message Integrity Check (MIC) signature, which is approved by the router.

Cisco IOS 11.x and 12.0 through 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic block) by sending a particular sequence of IPv4 packets to an interface on the device, causing the input queue on that interface to be marked as full.

Buffer overflow in the HTTP server for Cisco IOS 12.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an extremely long (2GB) HTTP GET request.

Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.2, when IP routing is disabled, accepts false ICMP redirect messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (network routing modification).

Multiple vulnerabilities in the H.323 protocol implementation for Cisco IOS 11.3T through 12.2T allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by the NISCC/OUSPG PROTOS test suite for the H.225 protocol.

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 12.2(15) and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (refused VTY (virtual terminal) connections), via a crafted TCP connection to the Telnet or reverse Telnet port.

Cisco VACM (View-based Access Control MIB) for Catalyst Operating Software (CatOS) 5.5 and 6.1 and IOS 12.0 and 12.1 allows remote attackers to read and modify device configuration via the read-write community string.

Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.3YL, with BGP enabled and running the bgp log-neighbor-changes command, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a malformed BGP packet.

Cisco IOS 12.1T, 12.2, 12.2T, 12.3 and 12.3T, with Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) installed but disabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a crafted packet sent to the disabled interface.

Secure Shell (SSH) 2 in Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) (1) via a username that contains a domain name when using a TACACS+ server to authenticate, (2) when a new SSH session is in the login phase and a currently logged in user issues a send command, or (3) when IOS is logging messages and an SSH session is terminated while the server is sending data.

Memory leak in Secure Shell (SSH) in Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.3, when authenticating against a TACACS+ server, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via an incorrect username or password.

Cisco IOS 12.0 to 12.4 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a heap-based buffer overflow in system timers. NOTE: this issue does not correspond to a specific vulnerability, rather a general weakness that only increases the feasibility of exploitation of any vulnerabilities that might exist. Such design-level weaknesses normally are not included in CVE, so perhaps this issue should be REJECTed.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Cisco IOS Web Server for IOS 12.0(2a) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by (1) packets containing HTML that an administrator views via an HTTP interface to the contents of memory buffers, as demonstrated by the URI /level/15/exec/-/buffers/assigned/dump; or (2) sending the router Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) packets with HTML payload that an administrator views via the CDP status pages. NOTE: these vectors were originally reported as being associated with the dump and packet options in /level/15/exec/-/show/buffers.
