In some specific conditions, if attackers send specific malformed MPLS Service PING messages to the affected products, products do not release the memory when handling the packets. So successful exploit will result in memory leak of the affected products.

CWE-772 - Missing Release Of Resource After Effective Lifetime

'Missing release of resource after effective lifetime' is a weakness that occurs when software doesn't sufficiently release a resource (e.g. memory, CPU, disk space, etc.) after it is used. If not addressed, attackers can launch a denial of service attack (by allocating a resource and not releasing it).
