Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20181003-fp-smb-snort
Revision: 1.0
For Public Release: 2018 October 3 16:00 GMT
Last Updated: 2018 October 3 16:00 GMT

Summary
=======
A vulnerability in the Server Message Block Version 2 (SMBv2) and Version 3 (SMBv3) protocol implementation for the Cisco Firepower System Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to run low on system memory, possibly preventing the device from forwarding traffic. It is also possible that a manual reload of the device may be required to clear the condition.
The vulnerability is due to incorrect SMB header validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a custom SMB file transfer through the targeted device. A successful exploit could cause the device to consume an excessive amount of system memory and prevent the SNORT process from forwarding network traffic. This vulnerability can be exploited using either IPv4 or IPv6 in combination with SMBv2 or SMBv3 network traffic.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
