Synopsis

The packet inspection software installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

According to its version, the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) software installed on the remote device is prior to 6.1.0.2 or else is 6.2.x prior to 6.2.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the detection engine reassembly of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets due to improper handling of an SSL packet stream. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted SSL packet stream, to cause the Snort process to consume a high level of CPU resources.
 (CVE-2017-3885)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the detection engine due to improper handling of an SSL packet in an established SSL connection. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted SSL packet stream, to cause the Snort process to restart, allowing traffic inspection to be bypassed or traffic to be dropped. (CVE-2017-3887)

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug ID CSCvc58563 and CSCvb62292.
