CVE-2012-4098

The BGP implementation in Cisco NX-OS does not properly filter AS paths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (BGP service reset and resync) via a malformed UPDATE message, aka Bug ID CSCtn13055.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
