Description
A vulnerability in the connection-handling mechanism of Cisco Crosswork Network Controller (CNC) and Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected system. This vulnerability is due to an inadequate implementation of rate-limiting on incoming network connections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large number of connection requests to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust available connection resources, causing Cisco CNC and Cisco NSO to become unresponsive and resulting in a DoS condition for legitimate users and dependent services. A manual reboot of the system is required to recover from this condition.
