Descriptions

A vulnerability in the DNS inspection handler of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition (DoS) on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to a lack of proper processing of incoming requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted DNS requests at a high rate to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to stop responding, resulting in a DoS condition.

Una vulnerabilidad en el controlador de inspección de DNS del software Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) y del software Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS) en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a una falta de procesamiento apropiado de las peticiones entrantes. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de peticiones DNS diseñadas a un alto ritmo a un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante causar que el dispositivo dejara de responder, resultando en una condición de DoS
