CVE-2018-0469: Cisco IOS XE Software Web UI Denial of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web user interface of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. The vulnerability is due to a double-free-in-memory handling by the affected software when specific HTTP requests are processed. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specific HTTP requests to the web user interface of the affected software. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have access to the management interface of the affected software, which is typically connected to a restricted management network.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let an unauthenticated remote attacker reboot an affected Cisco IOS XE device through its web management interface, causing a denial of service. Business urgency depends on whether that management interface is reachable beyond a tightly controlled management network. Exposure is most likely where Cisco IOS XE Web UI management is enabled and reachable from broader internal networks, VPN users, or the internet. Devices isolated to restricted management networks have lower practical exposure. Treat this as a network availability risk. It is most urgent for routers, switches, or gateways whose management interfaces are exposed beyond a protected admin network. Mitigation focus: Identify Cisco IOS XE devices using the Web UI management interface.; Restrict management access to trusted administrative networks only.; Check Cisco's advisory for affected releases and fixed software guidance..
