CVE-2018-0286
A vulnerability in the netconf interface of Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on affected system.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description

The vulnerability is due to improper handling of malformed requests processed by the netconf process.
