Summary

A vulnerability in the SIP inspection module of Cisco ASA and FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The issue is due to improper parsing of SIP messages.

Risk Assessment

An attack could trigger an integer underflow, causing the software to read unmapped memory and crash. This can disrupt traffic processing and lead to service unavailability.

Recommendation

Apply vendor patches for Cisco ASA/FTD. Restrict SIP traffic to trusted sources and monitor devices for crashes.

Original NVD description (English source)

A vulnerability in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) inspection module 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 improper parsing of SIP messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious SIP packet through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to trigger an integer underflow, causing the software to try to read unmapped memory and resulting in a crash.
