Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in the M-series, T-series, and J-Series routers, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when freeing memory after receiving certain IPv6 packets. This can be exploited to cause a exhaust available memory by sending specially crafted IPv6 packets to the vulnerable router.
