Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Cisco NX-OS (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a network-element reload, by sending a crafted packet to an affected network element. This is due to insufficient pointer validation in the Open Network Environment Platform (ONEP). An attacker would need to authenticate and send crafted packets to the targeted system, which may reside on trusted, internal networks, reducing the likelihood of a successful exploit.
