Cisco IOS Multiple Unspecified Stack Overflow Vulnerabilities

Cisco IOS Multiple Unspecified Stack Overflow Vulnerabilities

Cisco IOS is prone to multiple unspecified stack-overflow vulnerabilities.

A successful attack may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code and gain unauthorized access to the device. The attacker can also leverage this issue to cause an affected device to reload, denying service to legitimate users.

The researchers responsible for these discoveries have stated that there are numerous other IOS security issues that will be released in the near future.

NOTE: Judging by the limited information in the security advisory that induced this alert, we assume that all of Cisco IOS 12.x and IOS XR versions are affected by these issues. We cannot verify this at this time. We will update this information when more details emerge.
