Title:	Cisco Web Security Appliance DNS Resolution Vulnerability
Summary:	Cisco Web Security Appliance contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
Description:	Summary: Cisco Web Security Appliance contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. Vulnerability Insight: The vulnerability is due to the handling of DNS requests awaiting a DNS response when new, incoming DNS requests are received. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending TCP proxy traffic to the WSA at a high rate. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a partial DoS condition because DNS name resolution fails, which results in the client receiving a HTTP 503 'Service Unavailable' error. Vulnerability Impact: An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a DoS condition due to DNS name resolution failure through the affected device. This could result in the client receiving an HTTP 'Service Unavailable' error. Affected Software/OS: Cisco WSA versions 8.0.6-078 and 8.0.6-115 are vulnerable. Solution: Updates are available. Please see the vendor advisory for more information. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
