Descriptions

A vulnerability in the Image Signature Verification feature of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrator-level credentials to install a malicious software patch on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper verification of digital signatures for patch images. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting an unsigned software patch to bypass signature checks and loading it on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to boot a malicious software patch image.

Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad Image Signature Verification del Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software, podría permitir a un atacante remoto autenticado con credenciales de nivel de administrador instalar un parche de software malicioso sobre un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una verificación inapropiada de firmas digitales para imágenes de parches. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al diseñar un parche de software sin firmar para omitir las comprobaciones de firmas y cargarlo sobre un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir a un atacante iniciar una imagen de parche de software malicioso.
