An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-16018 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios Xr. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16018/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16018/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-16018","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16018/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-16018","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-638h-mp9x-p4wm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IOS XR","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in Cisco IOS XR by sending malformed BGP EVPN messages, requiring a valid peer connection.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios_xr","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"},{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"A vulnerability in the implementation of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Ethernet VPN (EVPN) functionality in Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to incorrect processing of a BGP update message that contains crafted EVPN attributes. An attacker could indirectly exploit the vulnerability by sending BGP EVPN update messages with a specific, malformed attribute to an affected system and waiting for a user on the device to display the EVPN operational routes\u0026rsquo; status. If successful, the attacker could cause the BGP process to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. The Cisco implementation of BGP accepts incoming BGP traffic only from explicitly defined peers. To exploit this vulnerability, the malicious BGP update message would need to come from a configured, valid BGP peer, or would need to be injected by the attacker into the victim's BGP network on an existing, valid TCP connection to a BGP peer.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Software EVPN Operational Routes Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-16018","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:ios_xr","products":["cisco:ios_xr"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Software BGP EVPN Denial of Service Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2019-16019"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal Insecure Direct Object Reference Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-16017"},"products":["Cisco IOS XR Software"],"published":"2020-01-26","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Software Discovery Protocol Format String","id":"CVE-2020-3118","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-02-05"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Software DVMRP Memory Exhaustion","id":"CVE-2020-3569","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-09-23"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Software DVMRP Memory Exhaustion","id":"CVE-2020-3566","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-08-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Denial-of-Service","id":"CVE-2010-3035","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2010-08-30"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Open Port","id":"CVE-2022-20821","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2022-05-26"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Denial-of-Service","id":"CVE-2009-2055","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2009-08-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Software Security Hardening Release: September 2026","id":"CVE-2026-20274","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-15","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in Cisco IOS XR by sending malformed BGP EVPN messages, requiring a valid peer connection.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-16018/"}
