cisco·CWE-670·Published 2021-09-23
A vulnerability in IPv6 traffic processing of Cisco IOS XE Wireless Controller Software for Cisco Catalyst 9000 Family Wireless Controllers could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Layer 2 (L2) loop in a configured VLAN, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition for that VLAN. The vulnerability is due to a logic error when processing specific link-local IPv6 traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted IPv6 packet that would flow inbound through the wired interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause traffic drops in the affected VLAN, thus triggering the DoS condition.

Una vulnerabilidad en el procesamiento del tráfico IPv6 de Cisco IOS XE Wireless Controller Software para Cisco Catalyst 9000 Family Wireless Controllers podría permitir a un atacante adyacente no autenticado causar un bucle de capa 2 (L2) en una VLAN configurada, resultando en una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS) para esa VLAN. La vulnerabilidad es debido a un error lógico cuando se procesa tráfico IPv6 local de enlace específico. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de un paquete IPv6 diseñado que fluyera hacia adentro mediante la interfaz cableada de un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante causar caídas de tráfico en la VLAN afectada, desencadenando así una condición de DoS
