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-2023-20187 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-2023-20187/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20187/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20187","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20187/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20187","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w9wf-g769-rjv3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco ASR 1000 Router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause a denial of service on Cisco ASR 1000 routers by sending specific IPv6 multicast packets when mLRE is enabled.","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-823","name":"Use of Out-of-range Pointer Offset"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the Multicast Leaf Recycle Elimination (mLRE) feature of Cisco IOS XE Software for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. \r\n\r This vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of certain IPv6 multicast packets when they are fanned out more than seven times on an affected device.
