Cisco details wireless LAN vulnerabilities

Cisco Systems' Wireless Control System and Access Point are each vulnerable to remote attacks, officials said. The WCS is quite serious and could let attackers log in, get encryption keys, execute scripts and manipulate files. In the access point's case, which is even more severe, attackers can access the management interface and launch other attacks from there. There are not yet patches.
