Cisco Internet Operating System SNMP Message Processing Denial Of Service Vulnerability

It has been reported that the Cisco Internet Operating System (IOS) is affected by a remote SNMP message processing denial of service vulnerability. This is caused by a design error that causes memory corruption in the affected system under certain circumstances.

This issue may be leveraged to cause a denial of service condition in the affected device. The denial of service is due to a corruption of memory in the affected device. As a result, there may be other consequences, such as code execution. This has not been confirmed by Cisco.
