The Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and IOS with Firewall/IPS Feature Set do not properly handle certain full-width and half-width Unicode character encodings, which might allow remote attackers to evade detection of HTTP traffic.

The web administration interface (mainApp) to Cisco IDS before 4.1(5c), and IPS 5.0 before 5.0(6p1) and 5.1 before 5.1(2) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unresponsive device) via a crafted SSLv2 Client Hello packet.
