CVE-2024-20327

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-20327

A vulnerability in the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) termination feature of Cisco IOS XR Software for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to crash the ppp_ma process, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to the improper handling of malformed PPPoE packets that are received on a router that is running Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) functionality with PPPoE termination on a Lightspeed-based or Lightspeed-Plus-based line card. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted PPPoE packet to an affected line card interface that does not terminate PPPoE. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to crash the ppp_ma process, resulting in a DoS condition for PPPoE traffic across the router. Una vulnerabilidad en la función de terminación de PPP sobre Ethernet (PPPoE) del software Cisco IOS XR para los enrutadores de servicios de agregación Cisco ASR serie 9000 podría permitir que un atacante adyacente no autenticado bloquee el proceso ppp_ma, lo que resultaría en una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS). Esta vulnerabilidad se debe al manejo inadecuado de paquetes PPPoE con formato incorrecto que se reciben en un enrutador que ejecuta la funcionalidad Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) con terminación PPPoE en una tarjeta de línea basada en Lightspeed o Lightspeed-Plus. • https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-iosxr-pppma-JKWFgneW • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation •
