CVE-2013-5566

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—
Cisco NX-OS 5.0 and earlier on MDS 9000 devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (supervisor CPU consumption) via Authentication Header (AH) authentication in a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) frame, aka Bug ID CSCte27874.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.90%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 79
Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
