Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point ARP Memory Exhaustion Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Various Cisco Aironet wireless access point devices are prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is due to memory exhaustion caused by improper handling of an excessive number of ARP requests.

This issue allows attackers who can successfully associate with a vulnerable access point to exhaust the memory of the affected device. As a result, the device fails to pass legitimate traffic until it has been rebooted.
