Title : Cisco Secure ACS EAP Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability VUPEN ID : VUPEN/ADV-2008-2491 CVE ID : CVE-2008-2441 CWE ID : CWE-20
Rated as : Moderate Risk
Remotely Exploitable : Yes Locally Exploitable : Yes Release Date : 2008-09-04
Technical Description
A vulnerability has been identified in Cisco Secure ACS, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is caused by an error when processing a specially crafted Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Message Attribute packet containing an overly large "length" field, which could allow attackers to cause the CSRadius and CSAuth processes to crash, creating a denial of service condition.
Note: The RADIUS shared secret and a valid known Network Access Server (NAS) IP address must be known to exploit this vulnerability.
