Security readout for executives and security teams
This vulnerability affects Cisco ASR 1000 routers running Cisco IOS XE before 2.2.3. A remote attacker could send a crafted IPv6 packet that crashes the Embedded Services Processor, causing a denial of service. The main business risk is network disruption on affected routing infrastructure. Exposure is limited to Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers running IOS XE versions before 2.2.3, particularly where IPv6 traffic can reach the device. The source bundle does not identify other products or detailed CPE mappings. Prioritize this where ASR 1000 routers support critical connectivity or process untrusted IPv6 traffic. The vulnerability is disruption-focused rather than data theft, but a router crash can still create material outage risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco ASR 1000 routers and record IOS XE versions.; Review Cisco advisory guidance for Bug ID CSCsv98555.; Upgrade affected IOS XE releases according to Cisco guidance..
