CVE-1999-1548

Summary

CVE-1999-1548 refers to a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Cabletron SmartSwitch Router (SSR) 8000 firmware version 2.x. The issue lies in the router's inability to handle more than 200 ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requests per second. An attacker can exploit this limitation by flooding the target system with ARP requests beyond the limit, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. This can significantly impact network availability and performance.
