Descriptions

A vulnerability in the packet processing functionality of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to inefficient memory management. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large number of TCP packets to a specific port on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust system memory, which could cause the device to reload unexpectedly. No manual intervention is needed to recover the device after it has reloaded.

Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad de procesamiento de paquetes de Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software, podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS) en un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una administración de memoria infeciente. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de una gran cantidad de paquetes TCP a un puerto específico en un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir a un atacante agotar la memoria del sistema, lo que podría hacer que el dispositivo se recargue inesperadamente. No se necesita intervención manual para recuperar el dispositivo después de que se haya recargado
