The HTTP server in Cisco IOS on Catalyst switches does not properly handle TCP socket events, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) via crafted packets on TCP port (1) 80 or (2) 443, aka Bug ID CSCuc53853.

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."
