A vulnerability in the implementation of a protocol in Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) Routers running Cisco IOS 15.0 through 15.6 could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause an affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to a misclassification of Ethernet frames. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted Ethernet frame to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvc03809.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Trigger condition is a crafted Ethernet frame sent to an affected Cisco ISR G2 device; monitor for unexpected device reloads on ISR G2 routers from adjacent network segments
  • Root cause is misclassification of Ethernet frames in the protocol implementation; anomalous or malformed Ethernet frame types targeting ISR G2 interfaces should be flagged
  • Attack vector is adjacent network (Layer 2); exploitation requires attacker to be on the same network segment — scope detection to L2-adjacent interfaces on ISR G2 devices
  • Cisco internal bug tracker reference CSCvc03809 can be used to cross-reference vendor advisories and patch applicability checks
  • ·Vulnerability affects Cisco ISR G2 routers running Cisco IOS versions 15.0 through 15.6 only; scope detection and patching efforts to this platform and version range
  • ·No workarounds exist for this vulnerability; the only mitigation is applying Cisco's software updates
