Summary
A vulnerability in the Local Packet Transport Services (LPTS) ingress
frame-processing functionality of Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause one of the LPTS processes on
an affected system to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a brief
denial of service (DoS) condition.
The vulnerability is due to incomplete LPTS frame validation by the
affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
sending crafted XML requests to the management interface of an
affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to
cause one of the LPTS processes on the affected system to restart
unexpectedly, which would impact LPTS traffic and cause a brief DoS
condition while the process restarts.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
