What is CVE-2008-5230?
CVE-2008-5230 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Cisco Ios, published on 25 Nov 2008. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) implementation in unspecified Cisco products and other vendors' products, as used in WPA and WPA2 on Wi-Fi networks, has insufficient countermeasures against certain crafted and replayed packets, which makes it easier for remote attackers to decrypt packets from an access point (AP) to a client and spoof packets from an AP to a client, and conduct ARP poisoning attacks or other attacks, as demonstrated by tkiptun-ng.
