CVE-2012-4661
Last modified
CVE-2012-4661 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Stack-based buffer overflow in the DCERPC inspection engine on Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) 5500 series devices, and the ASA Services Module (ASASM) in Cisco Catalyst 6500 series devices, with software 8.3 before 8.3(2.34), 8.4 before 8.4(4.4), 8.5 before 8.5(1.13), and 8.6 before 8.6(1.3) and the Firewall Services Module (FWSM) 4.1 before 4.1(9) in Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches and 7600 series routers might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DCERPC packet, aka Bug IDs CSCtr21359 and CSCtr27522.. EPSS estimates a 4.05% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
