CVE-2018-0475
A vulnerability in the implementation of the cluster feature of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to trigger a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation when handling Cluster Management Protocol (CMP) messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious CMP message to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the switch to crash and reload or to hang, resulting in a DoS condition. If the switch hangs it will not reboot automatically, and it will need to be power cycled manually to recover.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad en la implementación de la característica del clúster en Cisco IOS Software y Cisco IOS XE Software podría permitir que un atacante adyacente no autenticado desencadene una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS) en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a la validación incorrecta de entradas al manejar mensajes CMP (Cluster Management Protocol). Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un mensaje CMP malicioso a un dispositivo afectado. Si se explota con éxito, podría permitir que el atacante provoque que el switch se cierre inesperadamente y se recargue o se bloquee, provocando una denegación de servicio (DoS). Si el switch se bloquea, no se reiniciará auitomáticamente, por lo que será necesario conectarlo manualmente para recuperarse."
