DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Cisco Secure Access Control
System, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the web-based
management interface, which allows password change requests without
checking for authentication and previous passwords. This can be
exploited to change the password of users defined on the internal
identity store via a specially crafted request.

The vulnerability is reported in the following versions:
* Cisco Secure ACS version 5.1 with patch 3, 4, or 5 installed and
without patch 6 or later installed.
* Cisco Secure ACS version 5.2 without any patches installed.
* Cisco Secure ACS version 5.2 with patch 1 or 2 installed and
without patch 3 or later installed.
