Cisco IOS XE Software Network-Based Application Recognition Denial of Service Vulnerability

🚨 SEVERITY: HIGH — CVSS 8.6 Security Advisory

TL;DR 📌

A high-severity vulnerability has been identified in the Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) feature of Cisco IOS XE Software. This flaw could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to cause affected devices to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
