Description:Summary:
A vulnerability in the Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV)
generic routing encapsulation (GRE) implementation of the Cisco Nexus 7000 and 7700 Series
Switches could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a reload of the affected
system or to remotely execute code.

Vulnerability Insight:
The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation
performed on the size of OTV packet header parameters, which can result in a buffer overflow. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted OTV UDP packet to the OTV
interface on an affected device.

Vulnerability Impact:
An exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code
and obtain full control of the system or cause a reload of the OTV related process on the
affected device.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution.
