Summary

A vulnerability in the TCP proxy functionality for Cisco ASA and FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. The issue is due to an error in TCP-based packet inspection, which can cause an invalid Layer 2 header. An attacker could exploit this by sending a crafted TCP packet sequence.

Risk Assessment

The risk is the potential for device restart, leading to service and network traffic disruptions.

Recommendation

Update ASA/FTD software to patched versions and restrict access to devices from trusted sources.

Original NVD description (English source)

A vulnerability in the TCP proxy functionality for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to an error in TCP-based packet inspection, which could cause the TCP packet to have an invalid Layer 2 (L2)-formatted header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted TCP packet sequence to the targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition.
