A vulnerability in the implementation of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) functionality in Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected system. The vulnerability is due to incorrect processing of certain BGP update messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending BGP update messages that include a specific set of attributes to be processed by an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the BGP process to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. The Cisco implementation of BGP accepts incoming BGP traffic from explicitly defined peers only. To exploit this vulnerability, the malicious BGP update message would need to come from a configured, valid BGP peer or would need to be injected by the attacker into the victim's BGP network on an existing, valid TCP connection to a BGP peer.
Cisco IOS XR 4.3(.2) and earlier on ASR 9000 devices does not properly perform NetFlow sampling of packets with multicast destination MAC addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (chip and card hangs) via a crafted packet, aka Bug ID CSCup77750.
Cisco IOS XR 4.3.4 and earlier on ASR 9000 devices, when bridge-group virtual interface (BVI) routing is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (chip and card hangs) via a series of crafted MPLS packets, aka Bug ID CSCuo91149.
Cisco IOS XR 4.3(.2) and earlier on ASR 9000 devices does not properly perform NetFlow sampling of IP packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (chip and card hangs) via malformed (1) IPv4 or (2) IPv6 packets, aka Bug ID CSCuo68417.
snmpd in Cisco IOS XR 5.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (process reload) via a malformed SNMPv2 packet, aka Bug ID CSCun67791.
tacacsd in Cisco IOS XR 5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process reload) via a malformed TACACS+ packet, aka Bug ID CSCum00468.
Cisco IOS XR 5.1 and earlier on Network Convergence System 6000 devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NPU and card hang or reload) via a malformed MPLS packet, aka Bug ID CSCuq10466.
Cisco IOS XR 5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process reload) via a malformed RSVP packet, aka Bug ID CSCuq12031.
Cisco IOS XR through 4.3.2 on Gigabit Switch Router (GSR) 12000 devices does not properly check for a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) header in a UDP packet, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (line-card restart) via a crafted packet, aka Bug ID CSCuw56900.
