CVE-2023-20187

A vulnerability in the Multicast Leaf Recycle Elimination (mLRE) feature of Cisco IOS XE Software for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of certain IPv6 multicast packets when they are fanned out more than seven times on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specific IPv6 multicast or IPv6 multicast VPN (MVPNv6) packet through the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a reload of the affected device, resulting in a DoS condition.

Una vulnerabilidad en la función Multicast Leaf Recycle Elimination (mLRE) del software Cisco IOS XE para los Routers de Servicios de Agregación Cisco ASR serie 1000 podría permitir que un atacante remoto no autenticado provoque que el dispositivo afectado se recargue, lo que resultaría en una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS). Esta vulnerabilidad se debe al manejo incorrecto de ciertos paquetes de multidifusión IPv6 cuando se distribuyen más de siete veces en un dispositivo afectado. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un paquete específico de multidifusión IPv6 o VPN de multidifusión IPv6 (MVPNv6) a través del dispositivo afectado. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante provocar una recarga del dispositivo afectado, lo que resultaría en una condición DoS.
