Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The issue is related to errors in packet processing in the Polaris kernel of Cisco IOS XE. It could allow a remote attacker to crash the device due to insufficient packet size validation.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to crash the device fully before an automatic recovery.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
