Summary

  o A vulnerability in Cisco Security Manager could allow an unauthenticated,
    remote attacker to access sensitive information or cause a denial of

    a targeted system that contain references within XML entities. An exploit
    could allow the attacker to retrieve files from the local system, resulting
    in the disclosure of sensitive information, or cause the application to
    consume available resources, resulting in a DoS condition.
