According to its self-reported version, Cisco FXOS Software and Cisco NX-OS Software are affected by multiple vulnerabilities which could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service attack (DoS).
The vulnerabilities are due to the improper parsing of LDAP packets by an affected device. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending an LDAP packet crafted using Basic Encoding Rules (BER) to an affected device. The LDAP packet must have a source IP address of an LDAP server configured on the targeted device. A successful exploit could cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
