CVE-2022-20823 – Cisco NX-OS Software OSPFv3 Denial of Service Vulnerability

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-20823

A vulnerability in the OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3) feature of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation of specific OSPFv3 packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious OSPFv3 link-state advertisement (LSA) to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the OSPFv3 process to crash and restart multiple times, causing the affected device to reload and resulting in a DoS condition. Note: The OSPFv3 feature is disabled by default. • https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-nxos-ospfv3-dos-48qutcu • CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read CWE-126: Buffer Over-read •
