high Nessus Plugin ID 141460
Language:
Synopsis
The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.Description
According to its self-reported version, IOS-XE is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the zone-based firewall feature due to incomplete handling of Layer 4 packets through the device. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by sending a certain sequence of traffic patterns through the device, to cause the device to reload or stop forwarding traffic through the firewall, causing a denial of service.Solution
Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug IDs CSCvs71952 and CSCvt52986.See Also
