"According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS-XE Software is affected by a vulnerability.
- A vulnerability in the multicast DNS (mDNS) gateway feature of Cisco IOS XE Software for Wireless LAN
Controllers (WLCs) could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS)
condition. This vulnerability is due to improper management of mDNS client entries. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the wireless network and sending a continuous stream of
specific mDNS packets. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the wireless controller to
have high CPU utilization, which could lead to access points (APs) losing their connection to the
controller and result in a DoS condition. (CVE-2024-20303)
Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
