Descriptions

A vulnerability in the vDaemon process in Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient bounds checking when the device processes traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted traffic to the device. The attacker must have a man-in-the-middle position between Cisco vManage and an associated device that is running an affected version of Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN Software. An exploit could allow the attacker to conduct a controllable buffer overflow attack (and possibly execute arbitrary commands as the root user) or cause a device reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Una vulnerabilidad en el proceso vDaemon en el Software Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN, podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar un desbordamiento del búfer en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a la comprobación de límites insuficiente cuando el dispositivo procesa el tráfico. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de tráfico diseñado al dispositivo. El atacante debe tener una posición de man-in-the-middle entre Cisco vManage y un dispositivo asociado que esté ejecutando una versión afectada del Software Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN. Una explotación podría permitir al atacante realizar un ataque de desbordamiento de búfer controlable (y posiblemente ejecutar comandos arbitrarios como usuario root) o causar una recarga del dispositivo, lo que resultaría en una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS)
