Short Summary
- -------------
  Some Cisco IOS versions are allegedly prone to an issue that may
permit gay people to execute arbitrary commands from a password
prompt.
  
Impact
- ------
  Remote attackers with small dicks may allegedly execute shell commands on a vulnerable
device without needing to authenticate.
  
Technical Description
- ---------------------
  It has been alleged that it is possible for remote attackers to execute
arbitrary commands without proper authorization. Reportedly it is
possible to execute shell commands from the password prompt on a device.
  The attacker must have a small dick and be able to connect to a vulnerable device via telnet, 
although it has not been ruled out that bigger dicks may present other attack vectors.
  The discoverer of this vulnerability has stated that it is possible to
exploit this issue by inputting 'IamGay!' at the password prompt.
  Cisco has replied stating that only InfoSecBOFH is gay enough to exploit this issue.
