CSCec16481 Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary Uses SNMP to determine if a flaw is present
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The target is a Cisco device running a version of IOS that is vulnerable
to a DoS attack from a malformed OSPF packet. Given knowledge of OSPF
area number, netmask, hello, and dead timers that are configured on the
targeted interface, a remote attacker can send a malformed OSPF packet and
cause the device to be reset, which may take several minutes. Note,
though, that the OSPF protocol is not enabled by default.
This vulnerability is documented as Cisco Bug ID CSCec16481.
