Id Description
28143 Cisco Multiple Products Unintentional Password Modification

Cisco Firewall products contain a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain authorised access to a vulnerable device. The issue is triggered when certain passwords change to a non-random value under certain circumstances. It is possible that the flaw may allow authorized users to be locked out and unauthorized users to gain access resulting in a loss of confidentiality and integrity.
