According to its self-reported version, Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in its Secure Shell (SSH) component due to insufficient process cleanup. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by repeatedly initiating SSH connections, to exhaust system resources and cause the system to stop responding.
