An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-1622 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios Xe. 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-2021-1622/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1622/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1622","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1622/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1622","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6767-7pjf-mxgf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco cBR-8 router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service on Cisco cBR-8 routers by sending high-rate COPS packets, triggering a deadlock and resource exhaustion.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios_xe","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"},{"id":"CWE-833","name":"Deadlock"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) of Cisco IOS XE Software for Cisco cBR-8 Converged Broadband Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause resource exhaustion, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to a deadlock condition in the code when processing COPS packets under certain conditions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending COPS packets with high burst rates to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the CPU to consume excessive resources, which prevents other control plane processes from obtaining resources and results in a DoS.","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":"Denial of service in Cisco IOS XE Software","id":"CVE-2021-1622","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:ios_xe","products":["cisco:ios_xe"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco IOS XE Software","id":"CVE-2021-1623"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software Interface Queue Wedge Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1621"},"products":["Cisco IOS XE Software"],"published":"2021-09-23","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Web UI Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-20198","kev_date_added":"2023-10-16","published":"2023-10-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software Quality of Service Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2018-0151","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2018-03-28"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Web UI Command Injection","id":"CVE-2023-20273","kev_date_added":"2023-10-23","published":"2023-10-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Cisco IOS XE Software","id":"CVE-2025-20188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software for Catalyst 9000 Family Wireless Controllers CAPWAP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-34770","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco REST API Container for IOS XE Software Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-12643","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software Security Hardening Release","id":"CVE-2026-20272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-07","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service on Cisco cBR-8 routers by sending high-rate COPS packets, triggering a deadlock and resource exhaustion.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1622/"}
