Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Multiple DoS

high Nessus Plugin ID 99472

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing vendor-supplied security patches.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) software running on the remote device is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA) request processing due to improper validation of the RADIUS CoA packet header. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted RADIUS CoA packet, to disconnect connections through the WLC. (CVE-2016-9195)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the web management interface due to a missing internal handler for a specific request. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by accessing a hidden URL on the web management interface, to cause the device to reload. (CVE-2017-3832)

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug IDs CSCvb01835 and CSCvb48198.
