Descriptions

A vulnerability in certain access control mechanisms for the Secure Shell (SSH) server implementation for Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to access a CLI instance on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to a lack of proper input- and validation-checking mechanisms for inbound SSH connections on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by attempting to establish an SSH connection to an affected controller. An exploit could allow the attacker to access an affected device's CLI to potentially cause further attacks. This vulnerability has been fixed in version 8.5(140.0).

Una vulnerabilidad en ciertos mecanismos de control de acceso para la implementación del servidor Secure Shell (SSH) en el programa Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) de Cisco, podría permitir que un atacante adyacente no identificado acceda a una instancia de la CLI en un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad se debe a la falta de mecanismos adecuados de comprobación de entrada y comprobación para las conexiones SSH entrantes en un dispositivo afectado. Un atacante podría atacar esta vulnerabilidad si intenta establecer una conexión SSH con un controlador afectado. Una operación podría permitir que el atacante acceda a la CLI de un dispositivo afectado para potencialmente causar más ataques. Esta vulnerabilidad se ha corregido en la versión 8.5 (140.0).
