Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Cisco 11500 Content Services Switch, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the HTTP compression functionality when processing HTTP requests. This can be exploited to cause a vulnerable device to reload by sending a valid, but obsolete, or specially crafted HTTP request.
Successful exploitation requires that the network device has been configured for HTTP compression.
