A vulnerability in the packet processing functionality of Cisco access point (AP) software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to exhaust resources on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient management of resources when handling certain types of traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of specific wireless packets to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to consume resources on an affected device. A sustained attack could lead to the disruption of the Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) tunnel and intermittent loss of wireless client traffic.

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 Cisco Aironet Access Points (APs) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper resource management while processing specific packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted UDP packets to a specific port on an affected device. A successful exploit could either allow the attacker to tear down the connection between the AP and the wireless LAN controller, resulting in the affected device not being able to process client traffic, or cause the vulnerable device to reload, triggering a DoS condition. After the attack, the affected device should automatically recover its normal functions without manual intervention.

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack and perform arbitrary actions on the device with the privileges of the user, including modifying the device configuration. The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protections for the web-based management interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading an interface user to follow a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform arbitrary actions on the device with the privileges of the user. Software versions prior to 8.3.150.0, 8.5.135.0, and 8.8.100.0 are affected.

A vulnerability in the Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol component of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve memory contents, which could lead to the disclosure of confidential information. The vulnerability is due to insufficient condition checks in the part of the code that handles CAPWAP keepalive requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted CAPWAP keepalive packet to a vulnerable Cisco WLC device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to retrieve the contents of device memory, which could lead to the disclosure of confidential information.

A vulnerability in TACACS authentication with Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform certain operations within the GUI that are not normally available to that user on the CLI. The vulnerability is due to incorrect parsing of a specific TACACS attribute received in the TACACS response from the remote TACACS server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating via TACACS to the GUI on the affected device. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to create local user accounts with administrative privileges on an affected WLC and execute other commands that are not allowed from the CLI and should be prohibited.

Buffer overflow in the redirection functionality in Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software 7.2 through 7.4 before 7.4.140.0(MD) and 7.5 through 8.0 before 8.0.115.0(ED) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP request, aka Bug ID CSCus25617.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 before 7.4.110.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device restart) via a crafted 802.11 Ethernet frame, aka Bug ID CSCuf80681.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices 7.2 before 7.2.115.2, 7.3, and 7.4 before 7.4.110.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device restart) via a crafted 802.11 Ethernet frame, aka Bug ID CSCue87929.

The multicast listener discovery (MLD) service on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 before 7.4.121.0, and 7.5, when MLDv2 Snooping is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device restart) via a malformed IPv6 MLDv2 packet, aka Bug ID CSCuh74233.

The IGMP implementation on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.0 before 7.0.250.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, when IGMPv3 Snooping is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory over-read and device restart) via a crafted field in an IGMPv3 message, aka Bug ID CSCuh33240.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices 7.0 before 7.0.250.0, 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 before 7.4.110.0 do not properly deallocate memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reboot) by sending WebAuth login requests at a high rate, aka Bug ID CSCuf52361.

The mDNS snooping functionality on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 7.4.1.54 and earlier does not properly manage buffers, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (device reload) via crafted mDNS packets, aka Bug ID CSCue04153.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 7.0 before 7.0.235.3, 7.1 and 7.2 before 7.2.111.3, and 7.3 before 7.3.101.0 allow remote authenticated users to bypass wireless-management settings and read or modify the device configuration via an SNMP request, aka Bug ID CSCua60653.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in screens/base/web_auth_custom.html on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 7.2.110.0 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the headline parameter, aka Bug ID CSCud65187, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-5992.

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 7.2.110.0 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) add administrative accounts via screens/aaa/mgmtuser_create.html or (2) insert XSS sequences via the headline parameter to screens/base/web_auth_custom.html, aka Bug ID CSCud50283.

screens/base/web_auth_custom.html on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 7.2.110.0 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a certain buttonClicked value in an internal webauth_type request, aka Bug ID CSCud50209.
