Description

A vulnerability in the Cisco Discovery Protocol implementation for Cisco FXOS Software Cisco IOS XR Software and Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause a reload of an affected device resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to a missing check when the affected software processes Cisco Discovery Protocol messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust system memory causing the device to reload. Cisco Discovery Protocol is a Layer 2 protocol. To exploit this vulnerability an attacker must be in the same broadcast domain as the affected device (Layer 2 adjacent).
