Vulnerable Products
At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected Cisco Nexus Dashboard if LDAP was configured as a remote authentication provider.
For information about which Cisco software releases were vulnerable at the time of publication, see the Fixed Software section of this advisory. See the Details section in the bug ID at the top of this advisory for the most complete and current information.
Determine Whether LDAP Is Configured as a Remote Authentication Provider
To detemine whether LDAP is configured as a remote authentication provider, do the following steps:
- Go to the Nexus Dashboard Admin Console.
- From the main navigation menu, choose Admin > Authentication.
- For the configured Login Domains, check the Realm column to see if LDAP is configured and if there is a non-zero number in the Providers column.
If there is a login domain that has LDAP configured under the Realm column and a non-zero number in Providers column, the software is affected by this vulnerability.
Note: Only LDAP authentication is affected by this vulnerability. All other authentication methods are not affected by this vulnerability.
