Summary
A vulnerability in the IP version 6 (IPv6) packet handling routine of Cisco
NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a
device to stop responding to neighbor solicitation (NS) requests, causing a
limited denial of service (DoS) condition.
The vulnerability is due to improper processing of adjacencies in the IPv6
neighbor table. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a
sequence of malformed IPv6 packets to an affected device. An exploit could
allow the attacker to cause a device to stop responding to NS requests,
causing a limited DoS condition.
