in order to obtain sensitive information.
Impacted products: Cisco Catalyst, IOS by Cisco, Cisco Router.
Severity: 2/4.
Creation date: 05/09/2016.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Cisco IOS product offers a PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling

before returning it to the user.
A local attacker can therefore read a memory fragment via PPTP of
Cisco IOS, in order to obtain sensitive information.
