Summary
The
ACEManager component of ALEOS 4.16 and earlier does not adequately perform
input sanitization during authentication, which could potentially result in a
Denial of Service (DoS) condition for ACEManager without impairing other router
functions. ACEManager recovers from the DoS condition by restarting within ten
seconds of becoming unavailable.
