Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1700)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) ingress buffer management due to a logic error in the FPGA related to the processing of different types of input packet. An adjacent attacker can send a specially crafted sequence of input packets to a specific interface on an affected device, cause a queue wedge condition on the interface and cause the affected device to stop processing any additional packets that are received on the wedged interface.
