A vulnerability in the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) function of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass NETCONF or RESTCONF authentication and do either of the following: Install, manipulate, or delete the configuration of an affected device Cause memory corruption that results in a denial of service (DoS) on an affected device This vulnerability is due to an uninitialized variable. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of NETCONF or RESTCONF requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to use NETCONF or RESTCONF to install, manipulate, or delete the configuration of a network device or to corrupt memory on the device, resulting a DoS.

A vulnerability in the logic that handles access control to one of the hardware components in Cisco's proprietary Secure Boot implementation could allow an authenticated, local attacker to write a modified firmware image to the component. This vulnerability affects multiple Cisco products that support hardware-based Secure Boot functionality. The vulnerability is due to an improper check on the area of code that manages on-premise updates to a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) part of the Secure Boot hardware implementation. An attacker with elevated privileges and access to the underlying operating system that is running on the affected device could exploit this vulnerability by writing a modified firmware image to the FPGA. A successful exploit could either cause the device to become unusable (and require a hardware replacement) or allow tampering with the Secure Boot verification process, which under some circumstances may allow the attacker to install and boot a malicious softw…

Nortel VPN Router (aka Contivity) 1000, 2000, 4000, and 5000 before 5_05.149, 5_05.3xx before 5_05.304, and 6.x before 6_05.140 includes the FIPSecryptedtest1219 and FIPSunecryptedtest1219 default accounts in the LDAP template, which might allow remote attackers to access the private network.

Nortel VPN Router (aka Contivity) 1000, 2000, 4000, and 5000 before 5_05.149, 5_05.3xx before 5_05.304, and 6.x before 6_05.140 has two template HTML files lacking certain verification tags, which allows remote attackers to access the administration interface and change the device configuration via certain requests.

Nortel VPN Router (aka Contivity) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an IPsec IKE packet with a malformed ISAKMP header.

The on-line help system options in Cisco routers allows non-privileged users without "enabled" access to obtain sensitive information via the show command.
