Medium
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20161207-ise
First Published: 2016 December 7 16:00 GMT

CVE-2016-9198
CWE-399
Summary
A vulnerability in the Active Directory integration component of Cisco
Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability is due to improper handling of Password Authentication
Protocol (PAP) authentication requests when ISE is configured with an
authorization policy based on Active Directory group membership. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a special but formally correct
PAP authentication request that will trigger the issue. An exploit could allow
the attacker to cause all subsequent authentication requests for the same
Active Directory domain to fail.
There are workarounds that address this vulnerability.
