According to its self-reported version, Cisco NX-OS Software is affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the NX-API of Cisco NX-OS Software due to incorrect validation of HTTP requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this, by sending a crafted HTTP request to the NX-API, to cause a denial of service condition in the NX-API service.
