VAR-201310-0009
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-11 23:16The RIP service engine in Cisco NX-OS allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (engine restart) via a malformed (1) RIPv4 or (2) RIPv6 message, aka Bug ID CSCtj73415. The Cisco Nexus Series switches are data center switches. Adopt the Cisco Nexus OS operating system. Cisco NX-OS is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCtj73415. The vulnerability is caused by the program not filtering RIP packets correctly
