The Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in Cisco IOS before 15.0(1)XA5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and device hang) by sending many Router Advertisement (RA) messages with different source addresses, as demonstrated by the flood_router6 program in the thc-ipv6 package, aka Bug ID CSCti33534.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can make affected Cisco IOS devices hang or burn CPU when they process excessive IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisements. For the business, the impact is availability: routing or network edge services may become unreliable until the device recovers or is restarted. Exposure is most likely on Cisco IOS devices older than 15.0(1)XA5 that have IPv6 enabled and process Router Advertisements on reachable interfaces. The source bundle does not provide exact affected platforms or CPEs. Prioritize if affected Cisco IOS devices support critical routing, branch, or edge connectivity with IPv6 enabled. The issue is availability-focused, but device hangs can create business outages. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco IOS devices and identify versions before 15.0(1)XA5.; Upgrade affected devices to Cisco IOS 15.0(1)XA5 or vendor-supported fixed releases.; Review Cisco guidance for Bug ID CSCti33534 before changing production routing devices..
