CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2018-0285 — Cisco Prime Service Catalog security vulnerability
A vulnerability in service logging for Cisco Prime Service Catalog could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to deny service to the user interface. The vulnerability is due to exhaustion of disk space. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by performing certain operations that lead to excessive logging. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to deny service to the user interface. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvd39568.

Matched remediation archetype
Resource exhaustion and denial of service
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
- Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
- Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.
Remediate safely
- Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
- Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
- Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
