Cisco IOS Software Resource Reservation Protocol Interface Queue Wedge Vulnerability (cisco-sa-20130925-rsvp)
High Nessus Plugin ID 70313
Synopsis

Description
The remote device is affected by a denial of service vulnerability due
to improper handling of UDP RSVP packets in the Resource Reservation
Protocol (RSVP) feature. An unauthenticated, remote attacker, via
specially-crafted UDP RSVP packets sent to port 1698, can trigger an
interface queue wedge, resulting in a loss of connectivity, loss of
routing protocol adjacency, and other denial of service conditions.
Solution
Apply the relevant patch referenced in Cisco Security Advisory
cisco-sa-20130925-rsvp. Alternatively, apply the workaround referenced
in the advisory.
