Cisco IOS 12.x fixes 10 vulnerabilities in its March update cycle
Cisco has published, as every last Wednesday of March, eight security bulletins that address 10 vulnerabilities in its Cisco IOS operating system, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or privilege escalation.
Briefly, the vulnerabilities are:
* It has been found that a sequence of TCP packets could cause a denial of service on Cisco IOS devices that are configured as an Easy VPN Server using Cisco Tunneling Control Protocol (CTCP .) It recommends applying the patches available or use IPSec NAT-T as an alternative.
The vulnerability is documented in the Cisco bug ID CSCsr16693 and CSCsu21828:

http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails. do? method = fetchBugDetails & BUGID = CSCsu21828
* vulnerability exists when handling IP sockets could be exploited by an attacker to cause denial of service, through a sequence of TCP / IP packets specially crafted, when enabled certain property Cisco IOS.
The vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsm27071:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsm27071
* A vulnerability has been found on systems configured for Cisco IOS Mobile IP Network Address Translation (NAT) Traversal or Mobile IPv6 that could be exploited to cause a denial of service, causing the system interface process traffic ceases.
The vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsm97220 and CSCso05337:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsm97220
http://tools.cisco .com / Support / BugToolKit / search / getBugDetails.do? method = fetchBugDetails & BUGID = CSCso05337
* There is a server-side failure in the implementation Secure Copy (SCP) in Cisco IOS could be exploited by an authenticated user with command line interface (CLI) to gain escalated privileges. The user can transfer files to or from, the device that is configured as a SCP. This could be exploited to access and write to any file on the device, can gain total control over it.
The vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsv38166:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsv38166
* We have found a vulnerability in Cisco IOS in the implementation of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) which could be exploited by remote attackers to force a reboot of the device.
The vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsu11522:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsu11522
* found that multiple features Cisco IOS could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service on the affected system via a sequence of specially crafted TCP packets.
The vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsr29468:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsr29468
* We found a vulnerability when processing specially crafted UDP packets that would affect other property of Cisco IOS. If any of the affected is enabled, and specially crafted UDP packets sent to the affected device, it could stop processing traffic through the interface.
The vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsk64158:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsk64158
* found two vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS WebVPN or SSLVPN that could be exploited by an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service on the device.
The first failure would occur when receiving specially crafted HTTPS packets and is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsk62253:

The second problem is caused by a memory leak in the device when processing SSL sessions that have been disrupted unexpectedly. The issue is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsw24700:
