A vulnerability in the JSON-RPC API feature in Cisco Crosswork Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) and ConfD that is used by the web-based management interfaces of Cisco Optical Site Manager and Cisco RV340 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Routers could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to modify the configuration of an affected application or device.  This vulnerability is due to improper authorization checks on the API. An attacker with privileges sufficient to access the affected application or device could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious requests to the JSON-RPC API. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to make unauthorized modifications to the configuration of the affected application or device, including creating new user accounts or elevating their own privileges on an affected system.

A vulnerability in the implementation of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) functionality in Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to incorrect processing of certain BGP update messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending BGP update messages that include a specific, malformed attribute to be processed by an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the BGP process to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. The Cisco implementation of BGP accepts incoming BGP traffic only from explicitly defined peers. To exploit this vulnerability, the malicious BGP update message would need to come from a configured, valid BGP peer, or would need to be injected by the attacker into the victim's BGP network on an existing, valid TCP connection to a BGP peer.

A vulnerability in the forwarding component of Cisco IOS XR Software for Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 5500 Series Routers could allow an authenticated, local attacker to cause the router to stop forwarding data traffic across Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. More Information: CSCvd16665. Known Affected Releases: 6.2.11.BASE. Known Fixed Releases: 6.1.3 6.1.2 6.3.1.8i.BASE 6.2.11.8i.BASE 6.2.2.9i.BASE 6.1.32.11i.BASE 6.1.31.10i.BASE 6.1.4.3i.BASE.

A vulnerability in the Event Management Service daemon (emsd) of Cisco IOS XR routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of gRPC requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by repeatedly sending unauthenticated gRPC requests to the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to crash the device in such a manner that manual intervention is required to recover. This vulnerability affects all Cisco IOS XR platforms that are running release 6.1.1 of Cisco IOS XR Software when the gRPC service is enabled on the device. The gRPC service is not enabled by default. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvb14441.

A vulnerability in Google-defined remote procedure call (gRPC) handling in Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Event Management Service daemon (emsd) to crash due to a system memory leak, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability affects Cisco IOS XR Software with gRPC enabled. More Information: CSCvb14433. Known Affected Releases: 6.1.1.BASE 6.2.1.BASE. Known Fixed Releases: 6.2.1.22i.MGBL 6.1.22.9i.MGBL 6.1.21.12i.MGBL 6.1.2.13i.MGBL.

A vulnerability in Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to log in to the device with the privileges of the root user. More Information: CSCva38434. Known Affected Releases: 6.1.1.BASE.

A vulnerability in the HTTP 2.0 request handling code of Cisco IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Event Management Service daemon (emsd) to crash, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. More Information: CSCvb14425. Known Affected Releases: 6.1.1.BASE. Known Fixed Releases: 6.1.2.6i.MGBL 6.1.22.9i.MGBL 6.2.1.14i.MGBL.

Cisco IOS XR 6.1.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary OS commands as root by leveraging admin privileges, aka Bug ID CSCva38349.
