CVE-2013-1102: The Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS) component on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices wi...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a remote attacker crash and reload affected Cisco Wireless LAN Controller devices through the wIPS component. The business impact is wireless service disruption, not confirmed data theft. The source bundle does not provide a CVSS score or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely in environments still running legacy Cisco WLC software in the affected 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3 trains, especially where an attacker has network reachability to the controller or relevant wIPS traffic path. Treat as a service-availability risk for wireless networks. Prioritize remediation where affected controllers support critical sites, guest access, operations, or facilities connectivity. Urgency increases if controllers are reachable from broad internal networks. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20130123-wlc for the supported upgrade path.; Upgrade affected WLC software off vulnerable releases to the listed fixed trains or later.; Restrict network reachability to WLC interfaces where operationally possible..
