CVE-2017-12237 – Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software Internet Key Exchange Denial-of-Service Vulnerability

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2017-12237

A vulnerability in the Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) module of Cisco IOS 15.0 through 15.6 and Cisco IOS XE 3.5 through 16.5 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause high CPU utilization, traceback messages, or a reload of an affected device that leads to a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to how an affected device processes certain IKEv2 packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specific IKEv2 packets to an affected device to be processed. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause high CPU utilization, traceback messages, or a reload of the affected device that leads to a DoS condition. This vulnerability affects Cisco devices that have the Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) enabled. • http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/101037 http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1039460 https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20170927-ike • CWE-399: Resource Management Errors CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
