Descriptions

A vulnerability in the IPsec driver code of multiple Cisco IOS XE Software platforms and the Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reload. The vulnerability is due to improper processing of malformed IPsec Authentication Header (AH) or Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed IPsec packets to be processed by an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a reload of the affected device.

Una vulnerabilidad en el código del controlador IPsec de múltiples plataformas Cisco IOS XE Software y Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) podría permitir que un atacante remoto no autenticado provoque la recarga del dispositivo. La vulnerabilidad se debe al procesamiento incorrecto de una cabecera de autenticación (AH) IPsec mal formada o de paquetes ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload). Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando paquetes IPsec mal formados para que los procese el dispositivo afectado. Su explotación podría permitir que el atacante provoque la recarga del dispositivo afectado.
