VAR-200209-0032
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 20:05Buffer overflows in Cisco Virtual Private Network (VPN) Client 3.5.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via (1) an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) with a large Security Parameter Index (SPI) payload, or (2) an IKE packet with a large number of valid payloads. VPN Client for Linux is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions. Cisco Virtual Private Network (VPN) Client software is used to communicate with Cisco VPN Concentrator, it can run on Windows, Solaris, redhat linux, Apple MacOS and other systems. The Cisco VPN Client software contains multiple security holes, which can be exploited by attackers to prevent the Cisco VPN Client software program from working properly. * An IKE packet containing more than 57 payloads can trigger VPN Client software buffer overflow. * When the VPN Client software receives a malformed data packet with a payload length of zero, the VPN Client software will occupy 100\% of the CPU resources of the workstation. The Cisco bug ID for these vulnerabilities is CSCdy26045
