Cisco IOS Software Session Initiation Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implementation in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, affected devices must be configured to process SIP messages. Limited Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software releases are affected.



Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability.



There are no workarounds for devices that must run SIP; however, mitigations are available to limit exposure to this vulnerability.
