Summary

A vulnerability in the TCP/IP traffic handling function of the Snort Detection Engine of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software and Cisco FirePOWER Services could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause legitimate network traffic to be dropped, resulting in a denial of service (DoS). This is due to improper handling of TCP/IP traffic. An attacker could exploit this by sending a large amount of TCP/IP traffic, causing traffic drops and requiring a reboot.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that a remote attacker can disrupt network operations, potentially causing service unavailability for users.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update FTD/FirePOWER software to a patched version and monitor traffic throughput.

Original NVD description (English source)

A vulnerability in the TCP/IP traffic handling function of the Snort Detection Engine of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software and Cisco FirePOWER Services could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause legitimate network traffic to be dropped, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to the improper handling of TCP/IP network traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large amount of TCP/IP network traffic through the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Cisco FTD device to drop network traffic, resulting in a DoS condition. The affected device must be rebooted to resolve the DoS condition.
