Cisco Security Advisory 20130925-ntp
Posted Sep 25, 2013
Authored by Cisco Systems | Site cisco.com

Cisco Security Advisory - A vulnerability in the implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) feature in Cisco IOS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to the improper handling of multicast NTP packets that are sent to an affected device encapsulated in a Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) Source-Active (SA) message from a configured MSDP peer. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending multicast NTP packets to an affected device. Repeated exploitation could result in a sustained DoS condition. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. A workaround is available to mitigate this vulnerability.
