According to its self-reported version, Cisco StarOS Software is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability due to a memory leak that occurs during packet processing. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a series of crafted IPv4 packets, in order to cause an unexpected restart of the npusim process, resulting in a DoS condition.
Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
