Cisco Security Advisory - A vulnerability in the SSH version 2 (SSHv2) protocol implementation of Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass user authentication. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to log in with the privileges of the user or the privileges configured for the Virtual Teletype (VTY) line. Depending on the configuration of the user and of the vty line, the attacker may obtain administrative privileges on the system. The attacker cannot use this vulnerability to elevate privileges. The attacker must know a valid username configured for RSA-based user authentication and the public key configured for that user to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability affects only devices configured for public key authentication method, also known as RSA-based user authentication feature. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds for this vulnerability are not available; however administrators could temporarily disable RSA-based user authentication to avoid exploitation.
