Cisco VPN gear vulnerable to DoS attacks

Organizations running certain Cisco VPN gear may be susceptible to a remote denial-of-service attack that could knock out network connections for teleworkers or traveling employees accessing a corporate network over the Internet. A flaw in the Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator could cause the device to reload or drop user connections if an attacker sends a specially-crafted HTTP packet to the device, the vendor says.
