CVE-2005-3481
Cisco IOS 12.0 to 12.4 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a heap-based buffer overflow in system timers.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Cisco IOS 12.0 to 12.4 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a heap-based buffer overflow in system timers. NOTE: this issue does not correspond to a specific vulnerability, rather a general weakness that only increases the feasibility of exploitation of any vulnerabilities that might exist. Such design-level weaknesses normally are not included in CVE, so perhaps this issue should be REJECTed.
