"According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS-XE Software is affected by a vulnerability.
- A vulnerability in the Rate Limiting Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of Cisco IOS XE Software
could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause high CPU utilization in the Cisco QuantumFlow
Processor of an affected device, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due
to mishandling of the rate limiting feature within the QuantumFlow Processor. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending large amounts of traffic that would be subject to NAT and rate limiting through an
affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the QuantumFlow Processor
utilization to reach 100 percent on the affected device, resulting in a DoS condition. (CVE-2021-1624)
Please see the included Cisco BID and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.");
