Summary
A vulnerability in the OSPFv3 processing of Cisco IOS XR for Cisco CRS
platforms could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of
the OSPFv3 process and result in a limited denial of service (DoS) condition
on the affected device.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient logic in the processing of crafted
OSPFv3 packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending
crafted OSPFv3 packets to be processed by an affected device. An exploit could
allow the attacker to cause a reload of the OSPFv3 process and cause a limited
DoS condition on the affected device.

device results in a crash of the OSPFv3 process, followed by a potential
effect on data traffic relying on the exchanged routes.

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.
Workarounds
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
