CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition no the target system.
The vulnerability exists in the IPv6 subsystem due to incorrect handling of IPv6 packets with a fragment header extension. A remote attacker can send specially crafted IPv6 packets designed to trigger the issue either to or through the Trident-based line card and cause the Trident-based line cards to reload during the period of time the line card takes to restart.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
Update to version 5.3.4.
