Description:
Digitalmunitions.com has reported a vulnerability in Cisco IOS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to missing sanitisation of data received in CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) packets before displaying them in the CDP status page. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and JavaScript code in an Administrator's browser session in the context of the web administration interface when the status page is viewed.
The vulnerability is related to:
SA17780
The vulnerability has been reported in IOS 11.2(8.11)SA6. Other network devices running IOS 11 with the web administration server package installed may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to Cisco IOS 12.
Alternatively, disable CDP functionality if it is not required, or disable the web administration interface.
