Summary

The Message Transfer Service (MTS) in Cisco NX-OS before 6.2(7) on MDS 9000 devices and 6.0 before 6.0(2) on Nexus 7000 devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic) via a large volume of crafted traffic, aka Bug ID CSCtw98915.

descriptionAccording to its self-reported version, the remote NX-OS device is reportedly affected by one or more of the following vulnerabilities : - A privilege escalation flaw exists on systems with multiple virtual device contexts (VDCs) and local authentication configured. This could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to gain the privileges of an administrator in another VDC. Affects Nexus 7000 series devices. (CVE-2013-1191) - A privilege escalation flaw exists on systems with multiple virtual device contexts (VDCs) and local authentication configured. This could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to gain the privileges of an administrator in another VDC. Affects Nexus 7000 series devices. (CVE-2014-2200). - A buffer overflow flaw exists with the Smart Call Home feature. A remote attacker, with control of a configured SMTP server, could execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2014-3261) - A denial of service flaw exists with the Message Transfer Service (MTS) due to a NULL pointer dereference. This could allow a remote attacker to trigger a denial of service. Note that Cisco has investigated the issue, and has found that no official releases are affected. Only pre-release versions of NX-OS 6.0 are affected. (CVE-2014-2201)
