Summary
o A vulnerability in the system resource management of Cisco Elastic Services
Controller (ESC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a
denial of service (DoS) to the health monitor API on an affected device.
The vulnerability is due to inadequate provisioning of kernel parameters
for the maximum number of TCP connections and SYN backlog. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by sending a flood of crafted TCP packets

block TCP listening ports that are used by the health monitor API. This
vulnerability only affects customers who use the health monitor API.
