A vulnerability in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) feature of Cisco FXOS Software and Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper handling of specific fields in an LLDP frame. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted LLDP packet to an interface of an affected device and having an authenticated user retrieve LLDP statistics from the affected device through CLI show commands or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) requests. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the LLDP service to crash and stop running on the affected device. In certain situations, the LLDP crash may result in a reload of the affected device. Note: LLDP is a Layer 2 link protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to be directly connected to an interface of an affected device, either physically or logically (for example, through a Layer 2 Tunnel configured to transport the LLDP protocol).
A vulnerability in a specific CLI command within the local management (local-mgmt) context for Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain elevated privileges as the root user on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to extraneous subcommand options present for a specific CLI command within the local-mgmt context. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to an affected device, entering the local-mgmt context, and issuing a specific CLI command and submitting user input. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands as root on an affected device. The attacker would need to have valid user credentials for the device.
A vulnerability in the Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) feature of Cisco FXOS Software, Cisco IOS Software, Cisco IOS XE Software, Cisco IOS XR Software, and Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause an affected device to reload. This vulnerability is due to improper input validation of the UDLD packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specifically crafted UDLD packets to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. Note: The UDLD feature is disabled by default, and the conditions to exploit this vulnerability are strict. An attacker must have full control of a directly connected device. On Cisco IOS XR devices, the impact is limited to the reload of the UDLD process.
Cisco NX-OS on Nexus 5500 devices 4.x and 5.x before 5.0(3)N2(2), Nexus 3000 devices 5.x before 5.0(3)U3(2), and Unified Computing System (UCS) 6200 devices before 2.0(1w) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) by sending a jumbo packet to the management interface, aka Bug IDs CSCtx17544, CSCts10593, and CSCtx95389.
Buffer overflow in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) functionality in the Manager component in Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) 1.0 and 1.1 before 1.1(1j) and 1.2 before 1.2(1b) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed data in a UDP packet, aka Bug ID CSCtd32371.
The login page in the Web Console in the Manager component in Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) before 1.0(2h), 1.1 before 1.1(1j), and 1.3(x) allows remote attackers to bypass LDAP authentication via a malformed request, aka Bug ID CSCtc91207.
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) 1.x before 1.4(4) and 2.x before 2.0(2m) allows remote attackers to bypass KVM authentication via a crafted authentication request to a Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC), aka Bug ID CSCts53746.
The management API in the XML API management service in the Manager component in Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) 1.x before 1.2(1b) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service outage) via a malformed request, aka Bug ID CSCtg48206.
