CVE-2012-2488
Cisco IOS XR before 4.2.1 on ASR 9000 series devices and CRS series devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (packet transmission outage) via a crafted packet, aka Bug IDs CSCty94537 and CSCtz62593.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.19%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
