Network World's Cisco News Alert

Cisco warns of another IOS bug
By Jim Duffy, NetworkWorld.com, 09/08/05

Cisco has issued yet another vulnerability alert for its IOS
software. This one involves the Firewall Authentication Proxy
for FTP and Telnet Sessions feature in specific versions of the
Cisco software.

The feature is vulnerable to a remotely exploitable
buffer-overflow condition, according to a Cisco Security
Advisory issued this week.

The Firewall Authentication Proxy feature allows network
administrators to apply specific security policies on a per-user
basis. With Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and Telnet
Sessions, users can log into network services via FTP and/or
Telnet, and their specific access profiles are automatically
retrieved and applied from a Remote Authentication Dial In User
Service, or Terminal Access Controller Access Control System
Plus authentication server.
