Summary

The embedded HTTP server in Cisco Catalyst switches running CatOS versions 5.4 through 7.3 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. This vulnerability occurs when the server does not properly handle long HTTP requests, allowing remote attackers to exploit this weakness to trigger a denial of service condition by resetting the device. This could lead to disruption in network services and impact the overall availability of the affected devices.
