Descriptions

A vulnerability in the Akamai Connect feature of Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Appliances could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to certain file-handling inefficiencies of the affected system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by directing client systems to access a corrupted file that the client systems cannot decompress correctly. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to crash or hang unexpectedly and result in a DoS condition that may require manual intervention to regain normal operating conditions. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve82472.

Una vulnerabilidad en la característica Akamai Connect de Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Appliances podría permitir que un atacante remoto sin autenticar provoque una denegación de servicio (DoS) en un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad se debe a ciertas ineficiencias a la hora de gestionar archivos del sistema afectado. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad haciendo que los sistemas cliente accedan a un archivo corrupto que los sistemas cliente no pueden descomprimir correctamente. Con el exploit adecuado, el atacante podría provocar que el dispositivo afectado se cierre o se bloquee inesperadamente. Esto conduciría a una condición DoS que podría necesitar de una intervención manual para recuperar las condiciones normales de operatividad. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve82472.
