Cisco StarOS Denial of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the internal packet-processing functionality of the Cisco StarOS operating system running on virtual platforms could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to stop processing traffic, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
The vulnerability is due to a logic error that may occur under specific traffic conditions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted packets to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to prevent the targeted service interface from receiving any traffic, which would lead to a DoS condition on the affected interface.

The device may have to be manually reloaded to recover from exploitation of this vulnerability.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
