Title:	Cisco IOS XE Software Network Address Translation Denial of Service Vulnerability
Summary:	A vulnerability in the processing of IPv4 packets that require; Network Address Translation (NAT) and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) services of Cisco IOS; XE Software for Cisco ASR 1000 Series, Cisco ISR 4300 Series, Cisco ISR 4400 Series, and Cisco Cloud; Services 1000v Series Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of the affected device.;; The vulnerability is due to improper processing of IPv4 packets that require NAT and MPLS processing.; An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending an IPv4 packet to be processed by a Cisco IOS XE; device configured to perform NAT and MPLS services. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a reload of the affected device.;; Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability.;; Note: The September 23, 2015, release of the Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software Security Advisory bundled publication; includes three Cisco Security Advisories. All the advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software and; Cisco IOS XE Software. Individual publication links are in Cisco Event Response: September 2015 Semiannual; Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication at the references.
