It has been reported that under certain circumstances, it may be possible for remote attackers to force the System Controller Module (SCM) on Cisco Content Service Switches to reboot. A component on the device known as the Online Diagnostics Monitor (ONDM) periodically sends out ping packets to other components to verify functionality. It may be possible to prevent delivery of these ping packets, causing the router to believe the component is not functional and cause the SCM to reboot the device.
