Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in the MGCP inspection feature of Cisco ASA and FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerabilities are due to inefficient memory management.

Risk Assessment

An attack could cause memory exhaustion and device restart, disrupting traffic traversing the device. This can lead to network service outages.

Recommendation

Apply vendor patches for Cisco ASA/FTD. Restrict MGCP traffic to trusted sources and monitor memory usage on devices.

Original NVD description (English source)

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) inspection feature of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerabilities are due to inefficient memory management. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending crafted MGCP packets through an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause memory exhaustion resulting in a restart of an affected device, causing a DoS condition for traffic traversing the device.
