Severity ?
8.6 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
A vulnerability in the IKEv2 feature of Cisco IOS Software, IOS XE Software, Secure Firewall ASA Software, and Secure FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition. This vulnerability is due to the improper processing of IKEv2 packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IKEv2 packets to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an infinite loop that exhausts resources and could cause the device to reload.

Esta vulnerabilidad se debe al procesamiento incorrecto de paquetes IKEv2. Un atacante podr\u00eda explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando paquetes IKEv2 manipulados a un dispositivo afectado. Una explotaci\u00f3n exitosa podr\u00eda permitir al atacante provocar un bucle infinito que agote los recursos y provoque la recarga del dispositivo."
