Summary

Cisco IOS 11.x and 12.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending the ENVIRON option to the Telnet daemon before it is ready to accept it, which causes the system to reboot.

descriptionA defect in multiple Cisco IOS software versions will cause a Cisco router to reload unexpectedly when the router is tested for security vulnerabilities by security scanning software programs. The defect can be exploited repeatedly to produce a consistent denial of service (DoS) attack. Customers using the affected Cisco IOS software releases are urged to upgrade as soon as possible to later versions that are not vulnerable to this defect. Vulnerable products and releases are listed in detail below. The security scanner is testing for the presence of two specific vulnerabilities that affect certain UNIX-based systems. The vulnerabilities are unrelated to Cisco IOS software and Cisco IOS software is not directly at risk from them. However, a side-effect of the tests exposes the defect described in this security advisory, and the router will reload unexpectedly as soon as it receives any subsequent traffic. This defect is documented as Cisco Bug ID CSCdm70743.
