A vulnerability in the web-based Cisco IOx application hosting environment management interface of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a carriage return line feed (CRLF) injection attack against a user. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted packets to an affected device.
A successful exploit could allow the attacker to arbitrarily inject log entries, manipulate the structure of log files, or obscure legitimate log events.
