CVE-2014-0719: The control-plane access-list implementation in Cisco IPS Software before 7.1(8p2)E4 and 7.2 before 7.2(2)E...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-0719 is a Cisco IPS Software flaw that can let a remote attacker knock the IPS MainApp process offline with crafted traffic to TCP port 7000. The business impact is loss or degradation of intrusion prevention capability, not reported data theft or code execution. Exposure appears limited to legacy Cisco IPS Software deployments running the affected pre-fix releases, particularly where TCP port 7000 is reachable by untrusted networks. The source bundle does not identify broader affected products or CPEs. Treat this as a legacy perimeter-security availability issue. Prioritize if Cisco IPS still protects critical networks or if management/control-plane services are reachable beyond trusted administration networks. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco IPS Software versions in production and support environments.; Upgrade affected 7.1 deployments to 7.1(8p2)E4 or later per Cisco guidance.; Upgrade affected 7.2 deployments to 7.2(2)E4 or later per Cisco guidance..
