Summary
=======

A vulnerability in the Common Internet File System (CIFS) optimization 
feature of the Cisco Wide Area Application Service (WAAS) device could 
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a resource
consumption attack which, could result in a complete denial of service 
(DoS) condition.
 
The vulnerability is due to insufficient flow handling of incoming CIFS

malicious traffic designed to trigger the vulnerability. An exploit
could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition by exhausting system 
buffering resources, resulting in a reload of the affected device.
