What it is

A vulnerability in the management and VPN web servers of Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Secure FTD Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition.

This vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input on an interface with VPN web services. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to a targeted web server on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition when the device reloads.

Exploitation

The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory.
