Cisco IOS Software contains multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an authenticated, remote
attacker to remotely execute code on an affected system or cause an affected system to reload.

system via IPv4 or IPv6. Only traffic directed to an affected system can be used to exploit these
vulnerabilities.");

the SNMP subsystem of the affected software. The vulnerabilities affect all versions of SNMP -
Versions 1, 2c, and 3. To exploit these vulnerabilities via SNMP Version 2c or earlier, the
attacker must know the SNMP read-only community string for the affected system. To exploit these
vulnerabilities via SNMP Version 3, the attacker must have user credentials for the affected
system.");
