Descriptions

Multiple Cisco products are affected by a vulnerability in the Snort detection engine that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass a configured file policy for HTTP. The vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of specific HTTP header parameters. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP packets through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass a configured file policy for HTTP packets and deliver a malicious payload.

Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in snort, a flexible Network Intrusion Detection System, which could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or bypass filtering technology on an affected device and ex-filtrate data from a compromised host.
