Summary
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with low privileges to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient error handling in the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating with a malformed certificate. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
