Cisco Security Advisory 20080326-pptp

Posted Mar 26, 2008

Authored by Cisco Systems | Site cisco.com

Cisco Security Advisory - Two vulnerabilities exist in the virtual private dial-up network (VPDN) solution when Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used in certain Cisco IOS releases prior to 12.3. PPTP is only one of the supported tunneling protocols used to tunnel PPP frames within the VPDN solution. The first vulnerability is a memory leak that occurs as a result of PPTP session termination. The second vulnerability may consume all interface descriptor blocks on the affected device because those devices will not reuse virtual access interfaces. If these vulnerabilities are repeatedly exploited, the memory and/or interface resources of the attacked device may be depleted.
