Summary

The PKI functionality in Cisco IOS 15.0 and 15.1 does not prevent permanent caching of certain public keys, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and have unspecified other impact by leveraging an IKE peer relationship in which a key was previously valid but later revoked, aka Bug ID CSCth82164, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-4685.

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.
