Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Cisco IOS XE (Router Operating System) (the affected version is unknown). It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown code of the component IPv6 VPN over MPLS Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a interpretation input vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-115. The product misinterprets an input, whether from an attacker or another product, in a security-relevant fashion. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

A vulnerability in the implementation of IPv6 VPN over MPLS (6VPE) with Zone-Based Firewall (ZBFW) of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper error handling of an IPv6 packet that is forwarded from an MPLS and ZBFW-enabled interface in a 6VPE deployment. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted IPv6 packet sourced from a device on the IPv6-enabled virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) interface through the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to reload the device, resulting in a DoS condition.

The weakness was disclosed 10/11/2022 as cisco-sa-iosxe-6vpe-dos-tJBtf5Zv. The advisory is available at tools.cisco.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2022-20915 since 11/02/2021. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
