Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Software on IPS NME devices before 7.0(9)E4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via malformed IPv4 packets that trigger incorrect memory allocation, aka Bug ID CSCua61977.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
