Descriptions
A vulnerability in the email message filtering feature of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the CPU utilization to increase to 100 percent, causing a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper filtering of email messages that contain references to whitelisted URLs. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious email message that contains a large number of whitelisted URLs. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a sustained DoS condition that could force the affected device to stop scanning and forwarding email messages.
Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad de filtrado de mensajes de correo electrónico de Cisco AsyncOS Software para Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESA) podría permitir que un atacante remoto no autenticado aumente el uso de la CPU hasta el 100 por ciento, provocando una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS) en un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad se debe al filtrado incorrecto de mensajes de email que contienen referencias a URL en lista blanca. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un mensaje de correo electrónico malicioso que contiene un gran número de URL en lista blanca. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir que el atacante provoque una condición continuada de denegación de servicio (DoS) que podría forzar al dispositivo afectado a que pare de escanear y reenviar mensajes de correo electrónico.
