Description
The issue is related to the improper implementation of the Cisco Multicast Leaf Recycle Elimination (MLRE) feature in Cisco IOS XE, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (card reload) via fragmented IPv6 MVPN packets. Successful exploitation could trigger a reload of the Embedded Services Processors (ESP) card or the Route Processor (RP) card, causing an interruption of services. Repeated exploitation could result in a sustained denial of service condition.
