Summary

A vulnerability in the OSPFv2 implementation of Cisco ASA and FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to reload the device, causing a denial of service (DoS). The issue is due to incomplete input validation when processing OSPFv2 packets with LLS data. Exploitation involves sending a malformed OSPFv2 packet.

Risk Assessment

Exploitation could cause device reload, leading to routing disruptions and network unavailability.

Recommendation

Update to patched software and monitor OSPF traffic for anomalies.

Original NVD description (English source)

A vulnerability in the OSPF Version 2 (OSPFv2) implementation of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation when the affected software processes certain OSPFv2 packets with Link-Local Signaling (LLS) data. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malformed OSPFv2 packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
