A vulnerability in the access control list (ACL) programming of Cisco ASR 900 and
ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass a configured ACL.

Affected Products
Cisco products if they were running a vulnerable release of Cisco IOS XE Software and had an IPv4 ACL configured:
ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Routers with Route Switch Processors (RSPs) 1, 2, or 3
ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services Routers
Note: This vulnerability has not been found in ACLs that are manually configured using the CLI.
However, there is no mechanism to determine whether an ACL has been correctly programmed on a device.
Potential Detection as cannot confirm RSPs 1,2 or 3 and how is IPV4 ACL configured.
