CVE-2019-15276: Cisco Wireless LAN Controller HTTP Parsing Engine Denial of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Software could allow a low-privileged, authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability exists due to a failure of the HTTP parsing engine to handle specially crafted URLs. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating with low privileges to an affected controller and submitting the crafted URL to the web interface of the affected device. Conversely, an unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the web interface to click the crafted URL. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an unexpected restart of the device, resulting in a DoS condition.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers can be forced to restart through the web interface when the HTTP parser mishandles a specially crafted URL. This can interrupt wireless network service. The attacker needs low-privileged access, or must trick a logged-in web interface user into opening the URL. Organizations using Cisco Wireless LAN Controller devices with the web management interface enabled may be exposed. The source bundle does not specify exact affected software versions, so teams must compare their deployed WLC releases against Cisco's advisory. Treat as a high-priority availability risk for environments where Cisco WLCs support business-critical wireless access. Prioritize version verification, management-plane restriction, and vendor-guided remediation before broader operational disruption occurs. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco's advisory for affected releases and fixed software guidance.; Restrict WLC web interface access to trusted management networks.; Limit WLC web access to administrators with a business need..
