Cisco Web Security Appliance Range Request Denial of Service Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20151104-wsa2
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2015 November 4 16:00 UTC (GMT)
+———————————————————————
Summary
=======
A vulnerability in the file-range request functionality of Cisco AsyncOS
for Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an unauthenticated,
remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an
appliance because the appliance runs out of system memory.
The vulnerability is due to a failure to free memory when a file range
is requested through the Cisco WSA. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by opening multiple connections that request file ranges
through the WSA. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause
the WSA to stop passing traffic when enough memory is used and not freed.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.
A workaround that mitigates this vulnerability is also available.

Cisco Web Security Appliance Cache Reply Denial of Service Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20151104-wsa1
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2015 November 4 16:00 UTC (GMT)
+———————————————————————
Summary
=======
A vulnerability in the proxy cache functionality of Cisco AsyncOS for
Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an unauthenticated,
remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition because
the device runs out of system memory.
The vulnerability is due to improper memory operations by the affected
software. The software fails to free a memory object when it retrieves
data from the proxy server cache to terminate a TCP connection. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by opening many proxy
connections through the WSA. An exploit could allow the attacker to
cause the WSA to stop passing traffic when enough memory is leaked.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.
A workaround that mitigates this vulnerability is also available.
