Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

According to its self-reported configuration, Cisco IOS XR Software is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Multiple denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities exist in the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) feature due to insufficient queue management for Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this issue by sending crafted IGMP traffic to an affected device, to cause memory exhaustion resulting in instability of other processes.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number and configuration.

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug IDs CSCvr86414, CSCvv54838
