Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in some Cisco products, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on active TCP sessions.

* SN5400 series storage routers
* CSS11000 series content services switches
* AP350 and AP1200 series Access Points running VxWorks
