Summary

The vulnerability exists in Cisco Nexus 1000V due to improper prioritization of heartbeat messages between the Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM) and the Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM). This flaw allows remote attackers to exploit the system by flooding it with UDP packets, potentially leading to a denial of service. The result is a false report of VEM unavailability, which can disrupt network operations and affect performance.
