Summary

A vulnerability in the OSPF implementation in Cisco ASA and FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a memory leak on an affected device. The issue is due to incorrect processing of certain OSPF packets.

Risk Assessment

An attack could lead to continuous memory consumption and eventual device reload, causing a denial of service. This can disrupt network and service operations.

Recommendation

Install Cisco ASA/FTD software updates. Restrict OSPF access and monitor devices for memory leaks.

Original NVD description (English source)

A vulnerability in the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) implementation in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a memory leak on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to incorrect processing of certain OSPF packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted OSPF packets to be processed by an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to continuously consume memory on an affected device and eventually cause it to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
