Discussion

Cisco ONS Platform Vulnerabilities

Cisco has reported multiple vulnerabilities in the following platforms:
Cisco ONS 15327 Edge Optical Transport Platform
Cisco ONS 15454 Optical Transport Platform
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Multiplexer Platform
Cisco ONS 15600 Multiservice Switching Platform

These issues could permit unauthorized access to devices, including unauthenticated access to GET/PUT TFTP commands on affected platforms, denial of service attacks via incomplete TCP transactions and an issue that may allow locked out superuser accounts to still authenticate.

It should be noted that the various ONS platforms are intended to be deployed on networks that are physically separated from the Internet, so exposure to these issues by remote attackers is limited.
