Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Cisco IOS XE versions 3.5E

Description A vulnerability in the SNMP module could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of the affected device by sending continuous SNMP polling requests, exploiting the issue of frequent polling of certain MIBs. The vulnerability requires the attacker to authenticate to the targeted device, which may reduce the likelihood of a successful exploit.

Recommendations For Cisco IOS XE version 3.5E, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue, as confirmed by Cisco in their security notice. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SNMP module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
