Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper check for unusual or exceptional conditions error in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE). A remote non-authenticated attacker can cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
