Title: | Cisco ASA DNS Memory Exhaustion Vulnerability |
Summary: | Cisco ASA is prone to a DNS memory exhaustion vulnerability. |
Description: | Summary: Cisco ASA is prone to a DNS memory exhaustion vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The vulnerability is due to improper processing of DNS packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a request to an affected Cisco ASA appliance, which can cause it to generate a DNS request packet. The attacker would need to be able to intercept this request and reply with a crafted DNS reply packet. Vulnerability Impact: An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a request to a targeted device, causing the device to generate a DNS request packet. If the attacker can intercept the request and reply with a crafted DNS packet, the attacker could cause the device to exhaust available memory resources to cause system instability that results in a DoS condition. Affected Software/OS: Version 7.2, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 Solution: Apply the appropriate updates from Cisco. CVSS Score: 7.1 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
