descriptionAccording to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS XE Software is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in the IPv4 fragment reassembly function due to the corruption of an internal data structure that occurs when the affected software reassembles an IPv4 packet. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending crafted IPv4 fragments to an affected device, to cause the device to reload and stop responding. Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information. Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application
