Published on 01 Apr 2024
Cisco has released updates addressing multiple high severity vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-20311, CVE-2024-20314, CVE-2024-20307, CVE-2024-20308, CVE-2024-20259, CVE-2024-20303) affecting their IOS and IOS XE Software.
The vulnerabilities are:
- CVE-2024-20311: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to send a crafted Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP) packet to conduct denial-of-service (DoS) attack by causing the affected device to reload
- CVE-2024-20314: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to send certain IPv4 packets to conduct DoS attack by causing high CPU utilisation and stop processing traffic
- CVE-2024-20307 & CVE-2024-20308: Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an unauthenticated attacker to conduct DoS attack by underflowing and overflowing the heap respectively
- CVE-2024-20259: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to send a crafted DHCP request to conduct DoS attack by causing the affected device to reload
- CVE-2024-20303: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an unauthenticated attacker to transmit specially crafted packets continuously to overwhelm the CPU, causing DoS attack due to the loss of connection by access points (APs)
The vulnerabilities affect the following products:
