Discussion

Cisco ONS 15216 OADM Management Plane Telnet Service Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability

The Cisco ONS 15216 OADM has separate data planes, one that exists solely for device management, and the other that exists for data transport purposes.

The Telnet service used to access the Cisco ONS 15216 OADM management interface may fail, if a maliciously crafted data stream is sent to a Cisco ONS 15216 OADM Telnet session.

When the vulnerability is triggered, the Telnet service will no longer respond to subsequent legitimate requests. However, the data plane (Network traffic that is being switched and transmitted by the device.) is not affected by this attack.

This vulnerability exists in the Cisco ONS 15216 OADM device that is running software release 2.2.2 and earlier software releases.
