Descriptions

A vulnerability in the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) functionality of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the configured user filters on an affected device. The vulnerability exists because the affected software insufficiently validates certain incoming SPF messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a custom SPF packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass the configured header filters, which could allow malicious content to pass through the device.

Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad Sender Policy Framework (SPF) del Software Cisco AsyncOS para Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA), podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado omitir los filtros de usuario configurados en un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad se presenta porque el software afectado comprueba de manera insuficiente ciertos mensajes SPF entrantes. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de un paquete SPF personalizado hacia un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante omitir los filtros de encabezado configurados, lo que podría permitir que el contenido malicioso pase a través del dispositivo.
