DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing HTTP
packets. This can be exploited to cause the network device to reload
or drop established user connections by sending a specially crafted
HTTP packet to the concentrator.

Successful exploitation requires that the HTTP service is enabled
(default setting).

The vulnerability has been reported in software versions 4.7.0
through 4.7.2.A (including version 4.7REL). Software versions prior
to 4.7.x are not affected.
