high Nessus Plugin ID 152674

Synopsis
The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.Description
According to its self-reported version, Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software is affected by a vulnerability in the web services interface that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to upload arbitrary-sized files to specific folders on an affected device, which could lead to an unexpected device reload. The vulnerability exists because the affected software does not efficiently handle the writing of large files to specific folders on the local file system.An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading files to those specific folders. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to write a file that triggers a watchdog timeout, which would cause the device to unexpectedly reload, causing a denial of service (DoS) condition.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
