Descriptions

A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) input packet processor of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to restart unexpectedly. The vulnerability is due to a lack of sufficient memory management protections under heavy SNMP polling loads. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a high rate of SNMP requests to the SNMP daemon through the management interface on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the SNMP daemon process to consume a large amount of system memory over time, which could then lead to an unexpected device restart, causing a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability affects all versions of SNMP.

Una vulnerabilidad en el procesador de paquetes de entrada de Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) de Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software, podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar que un dispositivo afectado se reinicie inesperadamente. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una falta de suficientes protecciones de administración de memoria bajo cargas pesadas de sondeo SNMP. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de una alta tasa de peticiones SNMP al demonio SNMP por medio de la interfaz de administración en un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir a un atacante causar que el proceso del demonio SNMP consuma una gran cantidad de memoria del sistema a lo largo del tiempo, lo que podría conllevar a un reinicio inesperado del dispositivo, causando una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS). Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a todas las versiones de SNMP
