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 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.
