The OSPF implementation in Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.4 and 15.0 through 15.3, IOS-XE 2.x through 3.9.xS, ASA and PIX 7.x through 9.1, FWSM, NX-OS, and StarOS before 14.0.50488 does not properly validate Link State Advertisement (LSA) type 1 packets before performing operations on the LSA database, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (routing disruption) or obtain sensitive packet information via a (1) unicast or (2) multicast packet, aka Bug IDs CSCug34485, CSCug34469, CSCug39762, CSCug63304, and CSCug39795.

CallManager Express (CME) on Cisco IOS before 15.0(1)XA allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (device crash) by using an extension mobility (EM) phone to interact with the menu for SNR number changes, aka Bug ID CSCta63555.

The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress.

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a crafted Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) packet.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
