RISK: Medium Risk
A vulnerability has been identified in Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS), which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue is due to a buffer overflow error in the mod_jk library when processing overly long URLs via the "map_uri_to_worker()" [native/common/jk_uri_worker_map.c] method, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by sending a specially crafted request to an affected server.
