An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IS-IS packets to an affected device after forming an adjacency. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the IS-IS process to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a temporary loss of connectivity to advertised networks and a denial of service (DoS) condition.\r\nNote: The IS-IS protocol is a routing protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be Layer 2-adjacent to the affected device and must have formed an adjacency.&nbsp;&nbsp;"}],"references":[{"url":"https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-isis-dos-kDMxpSzK","name":"cisco-sa-isis-dos-kDMxpSzK"}],"exploits":[{"lang":"en","value":"The Cisco PSIRT is not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerability that is described in this advisory."}],"source":{"advisory":"cisco-sa-isis-dos-kDMxpSzK","discovery":"INTERNAL","defects":["CSCwq71827"]},"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","description":"Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input","type":"cwe","cweId":"CWE-1287"}]}],"affected":[{"vendor":"Cisco","product":"Cisco IOS XR Software","versions":[{"version":"7.8.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.9.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.10.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.8.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.8.22","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.9.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.11.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.9.21","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.10.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.1.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.11.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.2.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.1.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.2.11","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.3.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.4.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.2.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.8.23","status":"affected"},{"version":"7.11.21","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.2.20","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.3.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.4.10","status":"affected"},{"version":"25.1.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.4.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.3.20","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.4.15","status":"affected"},{"version":"25.2.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"25.1.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.3.30","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.4.30","status":"affected"},{"version":"24.2.21","status":"affected"},{"version":"25.2.15","status":"affected"}],"defaultStatus":"unknown"}],"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"d1c1063e-7a18-46af-9102-31f8928bc633","shortName":"cisco","dateUpdated":"2026-03-11T16:31:14.712Z"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2026-20074","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2026-03-11T17:04:46.266844Z"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2026-03-11T17:20:21.640Z"}}]}}
