COMMAND
Cisco catOS DoS via httpd bad handling of long URL request
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
CatOS v5.4 to v7.3 with "cv" in the image name
PROBLEM
Per a Cisco advisory [CSCdy26428] we learn that sending an overlong URL
request to the catOS embeded http server (enable for CiscoView
management for instance) would temporarily disable the device (reboot).
