An attacker may crash the device by sending the HTTP request "GET ?" to the HTTP port tcp/80 of the router. You need to reboot the device to make it work again. Upgrade your Cisco firmware and filter incoming traffic on port tcp/80. As workaround (disabling the web service) you could add the rule "set web disabled", "write" and "reboot" into your device. 20 minutes Yes http://www.nessus.org Yes No High 7 8 8 7 High Nessus is also able to do the same check.
