An unspecified vulnerability has been reported in Data ONTAP and NetCache, allowing malicious people to cause a Denial of Service against vulnerable devices.

Reportedly the vulnerability was discovered, because client machines infected with an unspecified worm, caused Network Appliance boxes to panic and reboot.

It is unknown what causes the vulnerability and if the vulnerability could be exploited to conduct anything else than a Denial of Service.

Network Appliances has developed patches, but are not sure whether the patches completely eliminate the vulnerability.

Solution
Fixed in NetCache version 5.6R1 or later and Data ONTAP version 6.5.2 or later.
