Cisco IOS 11.1 through 12.2, when HSRP support is not enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via randomly sized UDP packets to the Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) port 1985.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Cisco IOS denial-of-service issue. A remote sender could make affected routers consume CPU by sending malformed or randomly sized traffic to the HSRP service port, even when HSRP was not enabled. The business risk is router instability, not data theft, based on the provided sources. Exposure is most likely on legacy Cisco IOS 11.1-12.2 devices that can receive untrusted UDP traffic to port 1985. Modern environments are exposed only if unsupported legacy routers remain in service or reachable across untrusted network paths. Handle as a legacy infrastructure resilience risk. It is not presented as data compromise, but router CPU exhaustion can disrupt business connectivity. Prioritize if affected IOS versions remain exposed or support status is unclear. Mitigation focus: Identify any Cisco IOS 11.1 through 12.2 devices still in production.; Check Cisco guidance or support records for fixed releases or recommended controls.; Restrict untrusted access to HSRP-related traffic where operationally safe..
