DOS bug in Cisco Aironet

Cisco has reported a vulnerability in Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Points (AP) that work with Cisco IOS. The company has also announced that the update that fixes this vulnerability is now available.

A remote user, who has successfully associated with a Cisco IOS Wireless Access Point, could send specially-crafted and spoofed ARP messages to the management interface on the Access Point until physical memory has been completely exhausted. As a result, the target device would not be able to handle more network traffic and it would have to be manually shut down and restarted to start working again. DOS bug in Cisco Aironet
