A vulnerability in the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping feature of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code and gain full control of an affected system. The attacker could also cause an affected system to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow condition in the IGMP Snooping subsystem. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IGMP packets to an affected system. An exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code and gain full control of the affected system or cause the affected system to reload, resulting in a DoS condition. This vulnerability affects Nexus 2000 Series Switches, Nexus 3000 Series Switches, Nexus 3500 Platform Switches, Nexus 3600 Platform Switches, Nexus 5500 Platform Switches, Nexus 5600 Platform Switches, Nexus 6000 Series Switches, Nexus 7000 Series Switches, Nexus 7700 Series Switches, Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) mode, Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCuv79620, CSCvg71263.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-0292 is a Cisco NX-OS flaw in IGMP Snooping. An attacker on an adjacent network segment could send crafted IGMP traffic that may take full control of an affected Nexus switch or force it to reload, disrupting switching services. Exposure is most likely in environments running affected Cisco Nexus switches where an attacker can reach the same Layer 2 or adjacent network segment. This is not described as internet-remote in the provided sources. Treat this as urgent for affected Nexus infrastructure because successful exploitation could compromise core switching or cause outages. Priority is highest where untrusted or tenant-connected systems share Layer 2 adjacency. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory for affected and fixed NX-OS releases.; Upgrade or remediate using Cisco-published guidance.; Inventory listed Nexus platforms across data center and campus networks..

Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer

Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
