CVE-2011-0949
Cisco IOS XR 3.6.x, 3.8.x before 3.8.3, and 3.9.x before 3.9.1 does not properly remove sshd_lock files from /tmp/, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by making many SSHv1 connections, aka Bug ID CSCtd64417.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
