cisco·CWE-190·Published 2020-02-05
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).

Una vulnerabilidad en la implementación de Cisco Discovery Protocol para Cisco FXOS Software, Cisco IOS XR Software y Cisco NX-OS Software, podría permitir a un atacante adyacente no autenticado causar una recarga de un dispositivo afectado, resultando en una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS). La vulnerabilidad es debido a una falta de comprobación cuando el software afectado procesa los mensajes de Cisco Discovery Protocol. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de un paquete malicioso de Cisco Discovery Protocol hacia un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante agotar la memoria del sistema, causando que el dispositivo se recargue. Cisco Discovery Protocol es un protocolo de Capa 2. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, un atacante debe encontrarse en el mismo dominio de difusión que el dispositivo afectado (Capa 2 adyacente).
