Detail

Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to an affected device that has the DHCP version 6 (DHCPv6) server feature enabled, causing a reload.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link:
