| Description |
|
Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.
The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error in the handling of transiting Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) packets on systems that are configured with Cisco IOS Zone-Based Policy Firewall SIP Inspection enabled. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted SIP packet through the affected firewall. When the affected device inspects the packet, the device may reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
Cisco has confirmed this vulnerability and released software updates. |
