The Smart Install client functionality in Cisco IOS 12.2 and 15.0 through 15.3 on Catalyst switches allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via crafted image list parameters in Smart Install packets, aka Bug ID CSCub55790.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
