CVE-2021-1588

A vulnerability in the MPLS Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) feature of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper input validation when an affected device is processing an MPLS echo-request or echo-reply packet. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious MPLS echo-request or echo-reply packets to an interface that is enabled for MPLS forwarding on the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the MPLS OAM process to crash and restart multiple times, causing the affected device to reload and resulting in a DoS condition.

Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) de MPLS del Software Cisco NX-OS, podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS) en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a una comprobación inapropiada de la entrada cuando un dispositivo afectado está procesando un paquete de eco-petición o eco-respuesta MPLS. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de paquetes maliciosos de eco-solicitud o eco-respuesta MPLS a una interfaz que esté habilitada para el reenvío MPLS en el dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante causar que el proceso de MPLS OAM se bloquee y se reinicie varias veces, causando que el dispositivo afectado se recargue y resultando en una condición de DoS.
