Summary

A vulnerability in Cisco IOS software allows remote authenticated users to trigger a denial of service by initiating a VPN session and sending malformed IKEv2 packets. This can cause the affected device to reload unexpectedly, which may lead to service interruptions and operational challenges. The issue affects Cisco IOS versions prior to 15.1(1)SY1, making it crucial for users to update their systems to mitigate this risk and maintain network stability.
