DESCRIPTION:
mu-b has reported a vulnerability in Cisco VPN Client, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when handling certain

to cause a memory corruption within kernel space by sending specially
crafted IOCTLs to the affected driver, resulting in a system crash.
