The vulnerability of the Cisco NX-OS operating system of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches, based on Silicon One ASIC chips, arises from the reliance on open IP addresses. This allows a hacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the Cisco NX-OS operating system of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches, based on Silicon One ASIC chips, stems from the binding of open IP addresses during connection to TCP ports 43210 and 43211. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code ...
