Summary
A vulnerability in the Cisco Discovery Protocol subsystem of Cisco Wireless
LAN Controllers could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a
denial of service (DoS) condition.
The vulnerability is due to a failure to properly check for certain NULL
values present in a Cisco Discovery Protocol packet. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability by submitting crafted Cisco Discovery Protocol requests to
an affected device. The attacker would then need to convince a user to perform
a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) poll of the affected MIB. An
attacker that can convince a user to perform an SNMP poll of the affected MIB
could trigger a NULL pointer error that results in a restart of the device.
