Summary

Multiple networking products from Cisco are susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability. Remote attackers can exploit this flaw by sending a series of ARP packets containing an incorrect MAC address to the router's interface. This action results in the router overwriting its ARP table, leading to disruptions in local network operations. It is essential for network administrators to be aware of this vulnerability and implement appropriate measures to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized network access.
