Cisco Catalyst 6000 3.1 (1a)WS-SVC-NAM-1

A vulnerability in the Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) code of Cisco IOS 15.0 through 15.4 for Cisco Catalyst 6800 Series Switches could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a C6800-16P10G or C6800-16P10G-XL type line card to crash, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to a memory management issue in the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a large number of VPLS-generated MAC entries in the MAC address table of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a C6800-16P10G or C6800-16P10G-XL type line card to crash, resulting in a DoS condition. This vulnerability affects Cisco Catalyst 6800 Series Switches that are running a vulnerable release of Cisco IOS Software and have a Cisco C6800-16P10G or C6800-16P10G-XL line card in use with Supervisor Engine 6T. To be vulnerable, the device must also be configured with VPLS and the C6800-16P10G or C6800-16P10G-XL line card needs to be the core-facing MPLS interfaces. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCva61927.

The HTTP server in Cisco IOS on Catalyst switches does not properly handle TCP socket events, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) via crafted packets on TCP port (1) 80 or (2) 443, aka Bug ID CSCuc53853.

Unspecified Cisco Catalyst Switches allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) via an IP packet with the same source and destination IPs and ports, and with the SYN flag set (aka LanD). NOTE: the provenance of this issue is unknown; the details are obtained solely from the BID.

Cisco CatOS 5.x before 5.5(20) through 8.x before 8.2(2) and 8.3(2)GLX, as used in Catalyst switches, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash and reload) by sending invalid packets instead of the final ACK portion of the three-way handshake to the (1) Telnet, (2) HTTP, or (3) SSH services, aka "TCP-ACK DoS attack."
