Description

A remote overflow exists in IOS and CatOS. VTP allows an attacker to specify the revision number of the VTP information, which an attacker can set to 0x7FFFFFFF. When an admin updates VLAN information, the revision is incremented to 0x80000000 resulting in an integer overflow. With a specially crafted packet, an attacker can cause denial of service by blocking communication of VLAN changes resulting in a loss of availability.
