Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.99%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A vulnerability in the DNS input packet processor for Cisco Prime Network Registrar could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the DNS process to momentarily restart, which could lead to a partial denial of service (DoS) condition on the affected system.
