CVE-2026-20074
Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.4)—
A vulnerability in the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) multi-instance routing feature of Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause the IS-IS process to restart unexpectedly.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of ingress IS-IS packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IS-IS packets to an affected device after forming an adjacency. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the IS-IS process to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a temporary loss of connectivity to advertised networks and a denial of service (DoS) condition. Note: The IS-IS protocol is a routing protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be Layer 2-adjacent to the affected device and must have formed an adjacency.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad en la función de enrutamiento multi-instancia de Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) de Cisco IOS XR Software podría permitir a un atacante no autenticado y adyacente causar que el proceso IS-IS se reinicie inesperadamente.\n\nEsta vulnerabilidad se debe a una validación de entrada insuficiente de los paquetes IS-IS de entrada. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando paquetes IS-IS manipulados a un dispositivo afectado después de formar una adyacencia. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante causar que el proceso IS-IS se reinicie inesperadamente, lo que resultaría en una pérdida temporal de conectividad a las redes anunciadas y una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS).\nNota: El protocolo IS-IS es un protocolo de enrutamiento. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, un atacante debe ser adyacente en Capa 2 al dispositivo afectado y debe haber formado una adyacencia."
