Summary

Off-by-one error in Cisco IOS allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that trigger a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: as of 20071016, the only disclosure is a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, since it is from a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Exploit prediction

1.92% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 79% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
