Title: Cisco Catalyst Supervisor Remote Reload
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
This desciprion was taken from the Cisco advisory.
A remote attacker who knows how to exploit this vulnerability, and who can make a connection to TCP port 7161 on an affected switch, can cause the supervisor module of that switch to reload. While the supervisor is reloading, the switch will not forward traffic, and the attack will therefore deny service to the equipment attached to the switch. The switch will recover automatically, but repeated attacks can extend the denial of service indefinitely.
