Internet Key Exchange (IKE) version 1 protocol, as implemented on Cisco IOS, VPN 3000 Concentrators, and PIX firewalls, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a flood of IKE Phase-1 packets that exceed the session expiration rate. NOTE: it has been argued that this is due to a design weakness of the IKE version 1 protocol, in which case other vendors and implementations would also be affected.
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.
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 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.
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.
Buffer overflow in Cisco IOS 11.2.x to 12.0.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute commands via a large number of OSPF neighbor announcements.
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 switches and routers running IOS 12.1 and earlier produce predictable TCP Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs), which allows remote attackers to spoof or hijack TCP connections.
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.
