"The remote Cisco device is running a version of Cisco IOS XR that is
5.1.x prior to 5.1.3, 5.2.x prior to 5.2.4, or 5.3.x prior to 5.3.2.
It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the
driver processing functions due to improper processing of fragmented
packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause
a memory leak on the route processor (RP), resulting in the device
dropping all control-plane protocols.");
