A vulnerability in the Plug-and-Play (PnP) subsystem of the Cisco Aironet
1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Access Points running a Lightweight Access Point (AP) or Mobility Express image could
allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

the affected device can exploit the vulnerability by returning malicious PnP responses. If a Cisco Application
Policy Infrastructure Controller - Enterprise Module (APIC-EM) is available on the network, the attacker would
need to exploit the issue in the short window before a valid PnP response was received.");
