Title:CiscoIOS XE Software Multicast Routing Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

Description:Summary:
Multiple vulnerabilities in the multicast subsystem of Cisco IOS XE
Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to create a denial of service (DoS) condition. The
issues are in IPv4 Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) and IPv6 Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM).

Vulnerability Insight:
The first vulnerability (Cisco bug ID CSCud36767) is due to insufficient
checking of MSDP Source-Active (SA) messages received from a configured MSDP peer. An attacker who can send
traffic to the IPv4 address of a device could exploit this vulnerability by sending a packet designed to
trigger the issue to the affected device.

The second vulnerability (Cisco bug ID CSCuy16399) is due to insufficient checking of packets encapsulated
in a PIM register message. An attacker who can send a malformed IPv6 PIM register packet to a PIM rendezvous
point (RP) could exploit the vulnerability.

Vulnerability Impact:
A successful exploit could cause the affected device to restart.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution.

CVSS Score:
7.8
