Summary

Layer 2 Netzwerksicherheitskontrollen: Mehrere Schwachstellen ermöglichen Umgehen von Sicherheitsvorkehrungen

Severity

Hoch

Scope

4 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2021-27854.

CVE-2021-27854

Layer 2 (L2) Netzwerksicherheitskontrollen, die von Switches, Routern und Betriebssystemen genutzt werden, können durch das Stapeln von Ethernet-Protokoll-Headern umgangen werden. Ein Angreifer aus dem angrenzenden Netzwerk kann dies ausnutzen indem er manipulierte Pakete über anfällige Geräte sendet. In der Folge kann er einen Denial-of-Service- oder einen Man-in-the-Middle Angriff gegen ein Zielnetzwerk durchzuführen.

Known affected: 10 products
