The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.

The Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in Cisco IOS XE 2.1 through 3.17S, IOS XR 2.0.0 through 5.3.2, and NX-OS allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (packet-processing outage) via crafted ND messages, aka Bug ID CSCuz66542, as exploited in the wild in May 2016.

Cisco IOS XR through 5.3.2 mishandles Local Packet Transport Services (LPTS) flow-base entries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session drop) by making many connection attempts to open TCP ports, aka Bug ID CSCux95576.

Cisco IOS XR 5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process reload) via a malformed RSVP packet, aka Bug ID CSCuq12031.

Cisco IOS XR 5.1 and earlier on Network Convergence System 6000 devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NPU and card hang or reload) via a malformed MPLS packet, aka Bug ID CSCuq10466.

tacacsd in Cisco IOS XR 5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process reload) via a malformed TACACS+ packet, aka Bug ID CSCum00468.

snmpd in Cisco IOS XR 5.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (process reload) via a malformed SNMPv2 packet, aka Bug ID CSCun67791.

Cisco IOS XR allows local users to cause a denial of service (Silicon Packet Processor memory corruption, improper mutex handling, and device reload) by starting an outbound flood of large ICMP Echo Request packets and stopping this with a CTRL-C sequence, aka Bug ID CSCui60347.

The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress.

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco IOS 12.0 through 12.4 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (device restart and BGP routing table rebuild) via certain regular expressions in a "show ip bgp regexp" command. NOTE: unauthenticated remote attacks are possible in environments with anonymous telnet and Looking Glass access.
