Cisco Content Service Switch HTTPS Post Denial Of Service Vulnerability

The Cisco Content Service (CSS) switch is a Layer 5 and 7 aware switch capable of providing a front-end to web server farms and caches. These switches run WebNS software.

It is possible to cause some Cisco Content Service Switches (CSS) to reboot by sending a HTTPS POST request to the web management interface of the device. The attacker does not need to be authenticated to cause this condition to occur.

The CSS 11000 series switches are known to be affected by this vulnerability.
