Bugtraq id: 49829
Cve id: CVE-2011-0945

Cisco's Internet Operating System (IOS) is a complex operating system optimized for Internet interconnection. The data stream interaction function (DLSw) enables the transmission of ibm sna and network BIOS traffic over an IP network.

The DLSw feature has a memory leakage vulnerability in the implementation of Cisco IOS. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to cause DoS attacks.

The Cisco IOS device configures the DLSw to listen to 91 packets of the IP protocol. According to the DLSw configuration, UDP port 2067 and multiple TCP ports can be opened. This vulnerability is exploited through ipprotocol 91 instead of UDP or TCP transmission.
