A vulnerability in the netconf interface of Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on affected system. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of malformed requests processed by the netconf process. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious requests to the affected software. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the targeted process to restart, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected system. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvg95792.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-0286 is a Cisco IOS XR NETCONF interface flaw that can let an unauthenticated remote attacker disrupt service. Malformed requests can restart the NETCONF process, creating a denial-of-service condition. Business risk depends mainly on whether NETCONF is enabled and reachable from untrusted networks. Most likely exposed systems are Cisco IOS XR devices with NETCONF enabled and reachable beyond tightly controlled management networks. The provided sources do not identify exact affected releases or configurations. Treat as a targeted infrastructure availability risk. Prioritize externally reachable or broadly reachable management interfaces first, then complete version validation against Cisco guidance. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20180502-iosxr for affected and fixed releases.; Apply Cisco-recommended fixed software or workarounds where applicable.; Restrict NETCONF access to trusted management networks where operationally feasible..
