DESCRIPTION:
A Denial of Service vulnerability has been identified in the SAA

ACLs that filters access to the SAA / RTR service except from trusted
IP addresses.

Router#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#no rtr responder
Router(config)#exit
Router#copy running-config startup-config
