Workarounds

There is a workaround that addresses this vulnerability.

Customers could remove the ingress ACLs from the MPLS-enabled interfaces and use egress ACLs in their environment. Egress hybrid ACLs are supported in Cisco IOS XR releases 7.6.2 and later.

While this workaround has been deployed and was proven successful in a test environment, customers should determine the applicability and effectiveness in their own environment and under their own use conditions. Customers should be aware that any workaround or mitigation that is implemented may negatively impact the functionality or performance of their network based on intrinsic customer deployment scenarios and limitations. Customers should not deploy any workarounds or mitigations before first evaluating the applicability to their own environment and any impact to such environment.
