cisco-sa-20190807-iosxr-isis-dos-1910: Cisco IOS XR Software Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System Denial of Service Vulnerability

First published: Wed Aug 07 2019(Updated: )

A vulnerability in the implementation of the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol functionality in Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated attacker who is in the same IS-IS area to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to incorrect processing of crafted IS-IS link-state protocol data units (PDUs). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted link-state PDU to an affected system to be processed. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause all routers within the IS-IS area to unexpectedly restart the IS-IS process, resulting in a DoS condition. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
