Synopsis
The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patchDescription
A vulnerability in the IPv6 traffic processing of Cisco NX-OS Software for certain Cisco devices could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass an IPv6 access control list (ACL) that is configured for an interface of an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper processing of IPv6 traffic that is sent through an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IPv6 packets that traverse the affected device.A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access resources that would typically be protected by the interface ACL.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
