An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted link-state PDU to an affected system to be processed. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause all routers within the IS\u2013IS area to unexpectedly restart the IS\u2013IS process, resulting in a DoS condition.\r\n\r\nCisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.\r\n\r\nThis advisory is available at the following link:\r\nhttps://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190807-iosxr-isis-dos-1910 [\"https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190807-iosxr-isis-dos-1910\"]\r\n  A companion advisory is available at the following link:\r\nhttps://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190807-iosxr-isis-dos-1918 [\"https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190807-iosxr-isis-dos-1918\"]",

If the router is configured with IS\u2013IS routing, it will return output. The following example shows the output of the show running-config router isis command on a device that is configured as a level 1 IS\u2013IS router.\r\n\r\nThe device is affected if it is configured as one of the following: is-type level-1, level-1-2 or level-2-only.\r\n\r\n\r\nRP/0/RSP1/CPU0:IOSXR#show running-config router isis\r\nSun May 26 05:20:23.088 UTC  router isis core  is-type level-1  net 49.0001.1921.6825.5091.00  address-family ipv4 unicast  !  interface TenGigE0/0/0/1    address-family ipv4 unicast   !\r\n\r\nThe following output includes two adjacencies.

If this best practice is followed, then only an authenticated attacker within the same IS\u2013IS area who sends the crafted IS\u2013IS link-state PDU could exploit this vulnerability.\r\n\r\nCisco also recommends that customers enable Non-Stop Forwarding and/or Non-Stop Routing.",
