Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 series devices use 127/8 IP addresses for Ethernet Out-of-Band Channel (EOBC) internal communication, which might allow remote attackers to send packets to an interface for which network exposure was unintended.

Unspecified Cisco Catalyst Switches allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) via an IP packet with the same source and destination IPs and ports, and with the SYN flag set (aka LanD). NOTE: the provenance of this issue is unknown; the details are obtained solely from the BID.

Cisco CatOS 5.x before 5.5(20) through 8.x before 8.2(2) and 8.3(2)GLX, as used in Catalyst switches, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash and reload) by sending invalid packets instead of the final ACK portion of the three-way handshake to the (1) Telnet, (2) HTTP, or (3) SSH services, aka "TCP-ACK DoS attack."

Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) in Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 series devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via an SNMPv3 message when snmp-server is set.

Buffer overflow in the Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) in Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 series devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via HTTP auth requests for (1) TACACS+ or (2) RADIUS authentication.

Buffer overflow in the embedded HTTP server for Cisco Catalyst switches running CatOS 5.4 through 7.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reset) via a long HTTP request.

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).

Memory leak in Cisco Catalyst 4000, 5000, and 6000 series switches allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a series of failed telnet authentication attempts.

Cisco Catalyst 5.4.x allows a user to gain access to the "enable" mode without a password.
