Multiple vulnerabilities in the EnergyWise module of Cisco IOS (12.2 and 15.0 through 15.6) and Cisco IOS XE (3.2 through 3.18) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow condition or a reload of an affected device, leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition. These vulnerabilities are due to improper parsing of crafted EnergyWise packets destined to an affected device. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending crafted EnergyWise packets to be processed by an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a buffer overflow condition or a reload of the affected device, leading to a DoS condition. Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software support EnergyWise for IPv4 communication. Only IPv4 packets destined to a device configured as an EnergyWise domain member can trigger these vulnerabilities. IPv6 packets cannot be used to trigger these vulnerabilities. Cisco Bug ID CSCuu76493.

A vulnerability in a startup script of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated attacker with physical access to the targeted system to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the root user. More Information: CSCuz06639 CSCuz42122. Known Affected Releases: 15.6(1.1)S 16.1.2 16.2.0 15.2(1)E. Known Fixed Releases: Denali-16.1.3 16.2(1.8) 16.1(2.61) 15.6(2)SP 15.6(2)S1 15.6(1)S2 15.5(3)S3a 15.5(3)S3 15.5(2)S4 15.5(1)S4 15.4(3)S6a 15.4(3)S6 15.3(3)S8a 15.3(3)S8 15.2(5)E 15.2(4)E3 15.2(3)E5 15.0(2)SQD3 15.0(1.9.2)SQD3 3.9(0)E.

A vulnerability in the web user interface of Cisco IOS XE 3.1 through 3.17 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. The vulnerability is due to insufficient resource handling by the affected software when the web user interface is under a high load. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a high number of requests to the web user interface of the affected software. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have access to the management interface of the affected software, which is typically connected to a restricted management network. This vulnerability affects Cisco devices that are running a vulnerable release of Cisco IOS XE Software, if the web user interface of the software is enabled. By default, the web user interface is not enabled. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCup70353.

A vulnerability in the Autonomic Networking Infrastructure (ANI) registrar feature of Cisco IOS Software (possibly 15.2 through 15.6) and Cisco IOS XE Software (possibly 3.7 through 3.18, and 16) could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation on certain crafted packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted autonomic network channel discovery packet to a device that has all the following characteristics: (1) running a Cisco IOS Software or Cisco IOS XE Software release that supports the ANI feature; (2) configured as an autonomic registrar; (3) has a whitelist configured. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload. Note: Autonomic networking should be configured with a whitelist. Do not remove the whitelist as a workaround. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvc42717.

A vulnerability in the Autonomic Networking Infrastructure (ANI) feature of Cisco IOS Software (15.4 through 15.6) and Cisco IOS XE Software (3.7 through 3.18, and 16) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation on certain crafted packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted IPv6 packet to a device that is running a Cisco IOS Software or Cisco IOS XE Software release that supports the ANI feature. A device must meet two conditions to be affected by this vulnerability: (1) the device must be running a version of Cisco IOS Software or Cisco IOS XE Software that supports ANI (regardless of whether ANI is configured); and (2) the device must have a reachable IPv6 interface. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvc42729.

Memory leak in the Smart Install client implementation in Cisco IOS 12.2 and 15.0 through 15.2 and IOS XE 3.2 through 3.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted image-list parameters, aka Bug ID CSCuy82367.

The DNS forwarder in Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.4 and 15.0 through 15.6 and IOS XE 3.1 through 3.15 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (data corruption or device reload) via a crafted DNS response, aka Bug ID CSCup90532.

Cisco IOS XE 3.1 through 3.17 and 16.1 on 64-bit platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (data-structure corruption and device reload) via fragmented IPv4 packets, aka Bug ID CSCux66005.

Cisco IOS 12.4 and 15.0 through 15.6 and IOS XE 3.1 through 3.18 and 16.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or device reload) via fragmented IKEv1 packets, aka Bug ID CSCuy47382.

Cisco IOS 15.2 through 15.6 and IOS XE 3.6 through 3.17 and 16.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device restart) via a malformed IPv6 Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) register packet, aka Bug ID CSCuy16399.
