The problem is caused due to an error resulting in certain passwords (EXEC password, passwords of locally defined usernames, and the enable password in the start-up configuration) being unintentionally changed to a non-random value without user intervention. The error may happen during a software crash or multiple users configuring a device at the same time. This may result in users being locked out or lead to unauthorised access to an affected device. SOLUTION: Update to a fixed version (see the vendor's advisory for details).
