CVE-2019-12676
HighCVSS 7.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk41th percentile - higher than 41% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in the OSPF implementation of Cisco ASA and FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a reload of an affected device, resulting in a denial of service (DoS). The issue is due to improper parsing of certain options in OSPF LSA type 11 packets. An attacker could exploit this by sending a crafted LSA type 11 OSPF packet.
Risk Assessment
The attack can cause device downtime, impacting client traffic traversing the device and potentially leading to service disruption.
Recommendation
Apply Cisco-provided updates for ASA and FTD software. Restrict OSPF trusted neighbors to necessary devices.

Original NVD description (English source)
A vulnerability in the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) implementation of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a reload of an affected device, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability exists because the affected software improperly parses certain options in OSPF link-state advertisement (LSA) type 11 packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted LSA type 11 OSPF packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a reload of the affected device, resulting in a DoS condition for client traffic that is traversing the device.
