Descriptions

A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) Supervisor and Cisco UCS Director could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected system. The vulnerability is due to insufficient restrictions on the size or total amount of resources allowed via the web interface. An attacker who has valid credentials for the application could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted or malformed HTTP request to the web interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause oversubscription of system resources or cause a component to become unresponsive, resulting in a DoS condition.

Una vulnerabilidad en la interfaz web de Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) Supervisor y Cisco UCS Director podría permitir que un atacante remoto autenticado provoque una denegación de servicio (DoS) en un sistema afectado. La vulnerabilidad se debe a las restricciones insuficientes en el tamaño o en la cantidad total de recursos permitidos mediante la interfaz web. Un atacante que cuente con credenciales válidas para la aplicación podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando una petición HTTP manipulada o mal formada a la interfaz web. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir que el atacante provoque la suscripción excesiva de recursos del dispositivo o haga que un componente deje de responder, provocando una denegación de servicio (DoS).
