"A vulnerability in the Multi-Pod or Multi-Site network configurations
for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in Application Centric
Infrastructure (ACI) mode could allow an unauthenticated, remote
attacker to unexpectedly restart the device, resulting in a denial of
service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability exists because TCP traffic
sent to a specific port on an affected device is not properly
sanitized. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending
crafted TCP data to a specific port that is listening on a public-
facing IP address for the Multi-Pod or Multi-Site configuration. A
successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to
restart unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition.
