Descriptions

A vulnerability in the rate limiter for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) traffic of Cisco NX-OS Software for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause BFD traffic to be dropped on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to a logic error in the BFD rate limiter functionality. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted stream of traffic through the device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause BFD traffic to be dropped, resulting in BFD session flaps. BFD session flaps can cause route instability and dropped traffic, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

Una vulnerabilidad en el limitador de velocidad para el tráfico de detección de reenvío bidireccional (BFD) del software Cisco NX-OS para los switches Cisco Nexus de la serie 9000 podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado hacer que se pierda el tráfico BFD en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a un error lógico en la funcionalidad del limitador de velocidad BFD. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un flujo de tráfico manipulado a través del dispositivo. Una explotación exitosa podría permitir al atacante causar la caída del tráfico BFD, resultando en la interrupción de la sesión BFD. Las interrupciones de la sesión BFD pueden causar inestabilidad en la ruta y la caída del tráfico, lo que resulta en una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS). Esta vulnerabilidad se aplica tanto al tráfico IPv4 como al IPv6
