CVE-2013-5473: Memory leak in Cisco IOS 12.2, 15.1, and 15.2; IOS XE 3.4.2S through 3.4.5S; and IOS XE 3.6.xS before 3.6.1...

Memory leak in Cisco IOS 12.2, 15.1, and 15.2; IOS XE 3.4.2S through 3.4.5S; and IOS XE 3.6.xS before 3.6.1S allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or device reload) via malformed IKEv1 packets, aka Bug ID CSCtx66011.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Certain Cisco IOS and IOS XE devices can lose memory when they receive malformed IKEv1 packets. Over time, this can exhaust memory or force the device to reload, disrupting VPN or routing services. The source bundle does not provide CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on Cisco IOS or IOS XE devices that process IKEv1 traffic, commonly VPN or IPsec-facing infrastructure. Internet-reachable IKEv1 services would carry higher operational risk. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete beyond the CVE description. Treat this as an infrastructure availability risk, especially for VPN or edge routing devices. Prioritize externally reachable IKEv1 services and business-critical network paths. Urgency is tempered by the lack of KEV listing or active exploitation evidence in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20130925-ike for fixed software and vendor guidance.; Inventory affected IOS and IOS XE versions named in the CVE description.; Prioritize upgrades for IKEv1-exposed routers and VPN gateways..
