Summary

Cisco NX-OS Software on Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series Switches is affected, including release 9.3(1). Improper validation of MPLS echo-request packets leads to freeing memory that is not on the heap (CWE-590). An unauthenticated remote attacker who sends a crafted MPLS echo-request to a device IP address can execute code with root privileges or crash processes, causing a device reload and denial of service.

Description from the CNA

A vulnerability in the MPLS Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) feature of Cisco NX-OS Software for Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper validation when an affected device is processing an MPLS echo-request packet. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted MPLS echo-request to an IP address on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges and could cause process crashes, which could result in a device reload and a DoS condition.
