  - A vulnerability in the Dedicated XML Agent feature of Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an
    unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) on XML TCP listen port 38751. This
    vulnerability is due to a lack of proper error validation of ingress XML packets. An attacker could
    exploit this vulnerability by sending a sustained, crafted stream of XML traffic to a targeted device. A
    successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause XML TCP port 38751 to become unreachable while the
    attack traffic persists. (CVE-2024-20390)

Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.");
