1) Denial of service
EUVDB-ID: #VU7497
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8006
CWE-ID:
CWE-799 - Improper Control of Interaction Frequency
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper control of interaction frequency. A remote attacker with knowledge of the target user's Self-Service Console credentials can connect to the Self-Service Console and conduct a brute force PIN guessing attack to determine the target user's PIN and reset the PIN, causing the system to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
Update to version 8.2 SP1 Patch 2.
