CVE-1999-1216

Summary

CVE-1999-1216 is a vulnerability affecting Cisco routers running version 9.17 and earlier. Despite the implementation of the "no ip source-route" command to block IP source routing, these routers remain susceptible to attacks through specific malformed packets. This issue allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data theft. Successful exploitation can result in significant network disruptions or compromises. It is recommended that affected organizations upgrade to the latest software version to mitigate this risk.
