CVE-2025-20352Cisco IOS and IOS XE — management subsystem overflow to reload

The network management subsystem (SNMP) in Cisco's router software (IOS, IOS XE) overflows a stack buffer, so a low-privileged authenticated attacker can reload the device — or, holding more privilege, run code as root.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply Cisco advisory cisco-sa-snmp-x4LPhte now; where the management protocol is not needed, switch it off, and otherwise restrict it to a management network.
