Interface input queue is full or almost full

Input queues are full or almost full on some interfaces, which could be triggered by a high packet rate or might be wedged due to a bug
Affected Interfaces:
GigabitEthernet0/0 

Input queue: 139/75/3091881350/115930058 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 1959267289

Hello Ahmad,

the following SW bug can apply to your router

 

CSCsi02145

 

Cisco IOS Software Virtual Routing and Forwarding ICMP Queue Wedge

 

A vulnerability within the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) subsystem of Cisco IOS software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS)
condition.

The vulnerability is due to a failure to properly process malicious ICMP version 4 (ICMPv4) messages received on a VRF-enabled interface. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by submitting ICMPv4 messages designed to trigger the vulnerability on an affected device. When the ICMPv4 messages are processed, the packet queue of the
affected interface may not be cleared, leading to a queue wedge. When a wedge occurs, the affected device will stop processing any additional packets received on the wedged
interface.

 

see  the following security advice

 

https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20150325-wedge

 

You may need to update the IOS  to fix it.

 

Hope to help

Giuseppe
