An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of IPv6 network requests from an associated wireless IPv6 client to an affected device. To associate a client to a device, an attacker may first need to authenticate to the network, or associate freely in the case of a configured open network. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the wncd process to consume available memory and eventually cause the device to stop responding, resulting in a DoS condition."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Una vulnerabilidad en el demonio de control de red inal\u00e1mbrica (wncd) del software Cisco IOS XE para controladores de LAN inal\u00e1mbrica (WLC) podr\u00eda permitir que un atacante inal\u00e1mbrico adyacente no autenticado provoque una denegaci\u00f3n de servicio (DoS).
