Summary

A vulnerability in the IOx application environment of multiple Cisco platforms could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the IOx web server to stop processing HTTPS requests, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) implementation issue. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted TLS packets to the IOx web server on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the IOx web server to stop processing HTTPS requests, resulting in a DoS condition.

descriptionAccording to its self-reported version, IOS is affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the IOx application environment of multiple Cisco platforms. This is due to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) implementation issue. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted TLS packets to the IOx web server on an affected device, causing the IOx web server to stop processing HTTPS requests. Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information. Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application
