Description

A vulnerability in the TCP packet processing of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to a memory exhaustion condition. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a high rate of crafted TCP traffic through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust device resources, resulting in a DoS condition for traffic transiting the affected device.

Affected configurations

• cisco adaptive security appliance (< 9.12.4.3) • cisco secure firewall threat defense (<= 6.2.2) • cisco secure firewall threat defense (>= 6.3.0 < 6.4.0.10) • cisco secure firewall threat defense (>= 6.5.0 < 6.5.0.5) • cisco secure firewall threat defense 6.6.0 • cisco adaptive security appliance software (>= 9.13.0 < 9.13.1.13) • cisco adaptive security appliance software (>= 9.14.0 < 9.14.1.30)
