VAR-201301-0040

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-11 22:59

The VPN driver in Cisco VPN Client on Windows does not properly interact with the kernel, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel fault and system crash) via a crafted application, aka Bug ID CSCuc81669. A local attacker can exploit this issue to crash the system, resulting in denial-of-service conditions. This issue is being tracked by Cisco bug ID CSCuc81669. The vulnerability is caused by the program not interacting with the kernel properly

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
