Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI Mode Denial of Service Vulnerability

cisco-sa-nxos-cpdos-qLsv6pFD · High · Published · Updated

A vulnerability in Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI mode could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation when processing specific Ethernet frames. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted Ethernet frame to the management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. Note: Only the out-of-band (OOB) management interface is affected. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link:https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-nxos-cpdos-qLsv6pFD This advisory is part of the February 2026 Cisco FXOS and NX-OS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication.
