Summary

Cisco Unified Wireless Network (UWN) Solution 7.x before 7.0.98.0 does not use an adequate message-digest algorithm for a self-signed certificate, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via vectors involving collisions, aka Bug ID CSCtd67660.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
