7.8 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Description

The DHCP relay agent in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and PIX 7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (dropped packets) via a DHCPREQUEST or DHCPINFORM message that causes multiple DHCPACK messages to be sent from DHCP servers to the agent, which consumes the memory allocated for a local buffer. NOTE: this issue only occurs when multiple DHCP servers are used.

Affected configurations

• cisco pix 7.2 • cisco adaptive security appliance software 7.2.2
