| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Cisco Catalyst 4000 series switches version 5.5.5
Cisco Catalyst 4000 series switches version 6.3.5
Cisco Catalyst 4000 series switches version 7.1.2
Description:
The issue causes unicast traffic to be broadcast across the switch, allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive network information by sniffing. This occurs because the switches do not always learn MAC addresses from a single initial packet.
Recommendations:
For version 5.5.5, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue.
For version 6.3.5, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue.
For version 7.1.2, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue.
