Race condition in the IPv6 virtual fragmentation reassembly (VFR) implementation in Cisco IOS 12.2 through 12.4 and 15.0 through 15.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload or hang) via fragmented IPv6 packets, aka Bug ID CSCud64812.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a remote attacker crash or hang vulnerable Cisco IOS devices by sending fragmented IPv6 traffic. The business impact is network availability loss, not data theft. The provided bundle does not include CVSS scoring, active exploitation evidence, or detailed remediation text. Exposure is most likely on Cisco IOS routers or switches running the listed IOS trains where IPv6 fragmentation reassembly behavior is reachable from untrusted networks. The bundle does not specify exact platforms, configurations, or whether IPv6 VFR must be explicitly enabled. Treat this as an availability risk for legacy Cisco IOS infrastructure. Prioritize internet-facing or critical routing paths first. Urgency is moderate unless exposed critical devices still run affected versions or show unexplained instability. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco IOS devices and flag releases 12.2-12.4 and 15.0-15.3.; Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20130925-ipv6vfr for fixed software and approved workarounds.; Prioritize edge and transit devices handling untrusted IPv6 traffic..
