A vulnerability in the Cisco Cluster Management Protocol (CMP) processing code in Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected device or remotely execute code with elevated privileges. The Cluster Management Protocol utilizes Telnet internally as a signaling and command protocol between cluster members. The vulnerability is due to the combination of two factors: (1) the failure to restrict the use of CMP-specific Telnet options only to internal, local communications between cluster members and instead accept and process such options over any Telnet connection to an affected device; and (2) the incorrect processing of malformed CMP-specific Telnet options. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed CMP-specific Telnet options while establishing a Telnet session with an affected Cisco device configured to accept Telnet connections. An exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and obtain full control of the device or cause a reload of the affected device. This affects Catalyst switches, Embedded Service 2020 switches, Enhanced Layer 2 EtherSwitch Service Module, Enhanced Layer 2/3 EtherSwitch Service Module, Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module (CGESM) for HP, IE Industrial Ethernet switches, ME 4924-10GE switch, RF Gateway 10, and SM-X Layer 2/3 EtherSwitch Service Module. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvd48893.

Unspecified vulnerability in the SIP implementation in Cisco IOS 12.3 and 12.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed SIP message, aka Bug ID CSCsz89904, the "SIP Packet Parsing Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability."

Unspecified vulnerability in the SIP implementation in Cisco IOS 12.3 and 12.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed SIP message, aka Bug ID CSCsz48680, the "SIP Message Processing Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability."

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) in Cisco IOS before 12.2(18)SXF11, 12.4(16a), and 12.4(2)T6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by setting a long hostname on the target system, then causing an error message to be printed, as demonstrated by a telnet session to the LPD from a source port other than 515.

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.

Buffer overflow in Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions for Cisco IOS 12.2ZH and 12.2ZL, 12.3 and 12.3T, and 12.4 and 12.4T allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted user authentication credentials.

Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.4 and IOS XR before 3.2, with IPv6 enabled, allows remote attackers on a local network segment to cause a denial of service (device reload) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted IPv6 packet.
