 A vulnerability has been reported in Cisco IOS, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the processing of MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) packets. This can be exploited to cause a vulnerable device to reload by sending a specially crafted MPLS packet to an interface with MPLS disabled.
Successful exploitation requires support for MPLS; however, it does not have to
be configured.
