Descriptions

Multiple Cisco products are affected by a vulnerability in the Snort application detection engine that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the configured policies on an affected system. The vulnerability is due to a flaw in the detection algorithm. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted packets that would flow through an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass the configured policies and deliver a malicious payload to the protected network.

Múltiples productos de Cisco están afectados por una vulnerabilidad en el motor de detección de aplicaciones de Snort que podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado omitir las políticas configuradas en un sistema afectado. La vulnerabilidad es debido a un fallo en el algoritmo de detección. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de paquetes diseñados que fluirían a través de un sistema afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante omitir las políticas configuradas y entregar una carga útil maliciosa a la red protegida.
