http://itvibe.com/default.aspx?NewsID&26


Security Focus have just reported on a vulnerability in CatOS, the
operating system Cisco hardware uses and is controlled with.

The vulnerability labeled 'Cisco CatOS TCP-ACK Denial of Service' will
cause the device to crash, and reboot upon receiving the malformed
'handshake' (TCP acknowledge of synchronization) packet. The device is
only vulnerable, however, if it is running HTTP, SSH or telnet
services.

System Administrators/Operators may want to check the list of affected
devices and CatOS versions published by Cisco and take appropriate
measures to minimize connectivity risk.
