Description:	Summary: A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface of the Nexus 3000 (N3K) Series Switch could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a partial denial of service (DoS) condition to the SNMP service running on the device. Vulnerability Insight: The vulnerability is due to improper handling of an SNMP request with a non-existent Object Identifier (OID). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted SNMP request to the affected device. Vulnerability Impact: An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a partial DoS condition of the SNMP interface where SNMP requests with legitimately formatted OIDs will time out. The DoS condition does clear and SNMP requests will start to be processed normally as expected. Solution: See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution. CVSS Score: 4.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P
