Cisco NX-OS - DoS (CVE-2024-20267)
CVSS 8.6 (High)

An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger an unexpected restart of the netstack process when processing MPLS traffic, which allows them to send a spoofed IPv6 packet within MPLS to a target MPLS-enabled device and carry out a DoS attack [1].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • Cisco NX-OS Software; <9.3(12); >9.3(12), <10.2(6)

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H

The vulnerability was publicly disclosed 28. 2. 2024.

Cisco NX-OS - DoS (CVE-2024-20321)
CVSS 8.6 (High)

An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a large amount of network traffic, which may disrupt adjacent eBGP sessions and lead to a DoS condition in the network [2].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • Cisco NX-OS Software; <9.3(12); >9.3(12), <10.2(6); >10.2(6), <10.3(4a)

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H

Cisco NX-OS and FXOS - DoS (CVE-2024-20294)
CVSS 6.6 (Medium)

An unauthenticated attacker on the local network can carry out a DoS attack by sending a crafted LLDP packet to an interface of the affected device [3].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • Cisco NX-OS Software; <9.3(12); >9.3(12), <10.2(6); >10.2(6), <10.3(4a)
