The remote Cisco Catalyst switch is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in IOS due to a failure by the Network Mobility Services Protocol (NMSP) daemon to require authentication.
A remote attacker can exploit this, via a request to the NMSP port, to gain version information about the software release running on the device, which can be used to facilitate further attacks.
