Summary

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to induce a denial of service condition on affected Cisco 12000 Series routers. By flooding the device with excessive traffic that triggers a surge of ICMP Unreachable replies, attackers can consume significant CPU resources, severely degrading network performance and potentially leading to service outages. This risk emphasizes the need for robust network security measures and traffic management strategies to mitigate such attacks.
