CVE-2016-6385
Memory leak in the Smart Install client implementation in Cisco IOS 12.2 and 15.0 through 15.2 and IOS XE 3.2 through 3.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted image-list parameters, aka Bug ID CSCuy82367.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.28%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
