Cisco IOS Software Precision Time Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability

view advisory published 2018-09-26

A vulnerability in the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) subsystem of Cisco IOS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition of the Precision Time Protocol. The vulnerability is due to insufficient processing of PTP packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a custom PTP packet to, or through, an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition for the PTP subsystem, resulting in time synchronization issues across the network. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
