DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Cisco Wireless Access Point,
which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the web management
interface when the Admin Access configuration has been changed from
"Default Authentication" to "Local User List Only". This causes the
access point to be re-configured with no security enabled, thus
allowing open access to the access point via the web interface or via
the console port with no validation of user credentials.
Successful exploitation requires that the web management interface is
enabled.
The vulnerability has been reported in the following products when
running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(8)JA or 12.3(8)JA1:
* 350 Wireless Access Point and Wireless Bridge
* 1100 Wireless Access Point
* 1130 Wireless Access Point
* 1200 Wireless Access Point
* 1240 Wireless Access Point
* 1310 Wireless Bridge
* 1410 Wireless Access Point
SOLUTION:
Update to Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(8)JA2.
