A vulnerability in the authentication functionality of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) AireOS Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient error validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted packets to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the wireless LAN controller to crash, resulting in a DoS condition. Note: This vulnerability affects only devices that have Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode enabled.

A vulnerability in the mesh code of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impersonate a WLC in a meshed topology. The vulnerability is due to insufficient authentication of the parent access point in a mesh configuration. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by forcing the target system to disconnect from the correct parent access point and reconnect to a rogue access point owned by the attacker. An exploit could allow the attacker to control the traffic flowing through the impacted access point or take full control of the target system. This vulnerability affects the following products running a vulnerable version of Wireless LAN Controller software and configured for meshed mode: Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller, Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controller, Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controller, Cisco Flex 7500 Series Wireless Controller, Cisco Virtual Wireless Controller, Wireless Services Module 2 (WiSM2). Note that additional configuration is needed in addition to upgrading to a fixed release. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCuc98992 CSCuu14804.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices do not properly address the resource consumption of terminated TELNET sessions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (TELNET outage) by making many TELNET connections and improperly ending these connections, aka Bug ID CSCug35507.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 4.x, 5.x, 6.0, and 7.0 before 7.0.220.4, when CPU-based ACLs are enabled, allow remote attackers to read or modify the configuration via unspecified vectors, aka Bug ID CSCtu56709.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 4.x, 5.x, 6.0, and 7.0 before 7.0.220.0 and 7.1 before 7.1.91.0, when WebAuth is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a sequence of (1) HTTP or (2) HTTPS packets, aka Bug ID CSCtt47435.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 6.0 and 7.0 before 7.0.220.0, 7.1 before 7.1.91.0, and 7.2 before 7.2.103.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a sequence of IPv6 packets, aka Bug ID CSCtt07949.

The administrative management interface on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 4.x, 5.x, 6.0, and 7.0 before 7.0.220.0, 7.1 before 7.1.91.0, and 7.2 before 7.2.103.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) via a malformed URL in an HTTP request, aka Bug ID CSCts81997.
