CVE-2016-6375

19
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-6375 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC) running specific software versions. An attacker on the same network segment can trigger a device reload by sending specially crafted Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) packets followed by a traffic stream metrics (TSM) information request via SNMP. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) requires adjacent network access and high attack complexity, but can lead to a complete denial of service. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
