Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco Firepower Detection Engine SSL Decryption Memory Consumption Denial of Service Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20171004-ftd

Revision: 1.0

For Public Release: 2017 October 4 16:00 GMT

Last Updated: 2017 October 4 16:00 GMT

CVE ID(s): CVE-2017-12245

CVSS Score v(3): 8.6 CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H

+———————————————————————

Summary
=======
A vulnerability in SSL traffic decryption for Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause depletion of system memory. If this memory leak persists over time, a denial of service (DoS) condition could develop because traffic can cease to be forwarded through the device.

The vulnerability is due to an error in how the Firepower Detection Snort Engine handles SSL traffic decryption and notifications to and from the Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) handler. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a steady stream of malicious Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) traffic through the device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition when the device runs low on system memory.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
