VULHUB ™

Cisco Security Advisory - A vulnerability in the Common Internet File System (CIFS) optimization feature of the Cisco Wide Area Application Service (WAAS) device could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a resource consumption attack which, could result in a complete denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to insufficient flow handling of incoming CIFS traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious traffic designed to trigger the vulnerability. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition by exhausting system buffering resources, resulting in a reload of the affected device.
