According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability in the 802.1x multiple-authentication (multi-auth) feature due to a logic change error introduced into the code. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker could exploit this, by trying to access an 802.1x multi-auth port after a successful supplicant has authenticated, to bypass the authentication phase on an 802.1x multi-auth port and obtain access to the network.
Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
