The Protocol Translation (PT) functionality in Cisco IOS 12.3 through 12.4 and 15.0 through 15.3, when one-step port-23 translation or a Telnet-to-PAD ruleset is configured, does not properly validate TCP connection information, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via an attempted connection to a PT resource, aka Bug ID CSCtz35999.
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.
