Original NVD Description

The VTY authentication implementation in Cisco IOS XE 03.02.xxSE and 03.03.xxSE incorrectly relies on the Linux-IOS internal-network configuration, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by leveraging access to a 192.168.x.2 source IP address, aka Bug ID CSCuj90227.
