According to its self-reported version, Cisco NX-OS Software is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
The vulnerability exists in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) due to incorrect processing of LLDP on packets on an SFP interface. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this issue, via sending a crafted LLDP packet, to cause the system to disable switching on the SFP interface.
Note that this vulnerability only affects systems in Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) mode.
Please see the included Cisco BID and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
