Cisco IOS SSL Packets Multiple Denial Of Service Vulnerabilities

Cisco IOS is prone to multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities because it fails to handle malformed SSL packets.

Attackers can exploit these issues to cause denial-of-service conditions on an affected device.

NOTE: Attackers can exploit these issues only via an established TCP connection, but only prior to security authentication. An attacker can, however, interrupt a secure session and inject malicious packets when a new session is started. Due to these factors, the likelihood of successful attacks is reduced.
