Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS XE Software is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability due to insufficient input validation in the wireless controller manager. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this, by submitting a crated association request, to cause the switch to restart repeatedly and, consequently, stop responding.

Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug ID(s) CSCvd45069.
