Denial of Service Vulnerability in Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Points

CVE-2006-0354

Summary

A vulnerability exists in Cisco IOS versions prior to 12.3-7-JA2 on Aironet Wireless Access Points that allows remote authenticated users to conduct denial of service attacks. By sending a high volume of spoofed ARP packets to the management interface, attackers can create an overly large ARP table that leads to memory exhaustion. This results in the termination of packet passing or client connections, effectively disrupting network operations. Addressing this flaw is crucial for maintaining network stability and security.
