Cisco Secure Firewall OSPF Protocol Flaws

Denial of service in Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and Secure FTD devices results from improper validation of OSPF link-state update packets, allowing authenticated adjacent attackers with the OSPF secret key to trigger heap corruption and forced device reloads. An attacker can exploit this by crafting malicious OSPF packets to crash affected devices, causing service disruption. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.

Memory corruption in Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and FTD OSPF packet processing allows adjacent, unauthenticated attackers to crash affected devices by sending crafted protocol packets. The vulnerability results in device reboot and denial of service, with no authentication or user interaction required. No patch is currently available.

Device denial of service in Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and Secure FTD Software occurs when an unauthenticated adjacent attacker sends specially crafted OSPF packets to trigger out-of-bounds memory writes during packet canonicalization processing. An attacker can exploit this by sending malicious OSPF LSU packets when debug logging is enabled, forcing the affected device to reload and become unavailable. No patch is currently available for this medium-severity vulnerability.

Insufficient input validation in Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and Secure FTD OSPF implementations allows adjacent attackers to trigger denial of service by sending malformed OSPF update packets that cause device reloads. Authentication bypass is possible if OSPF authentication is disabled, though knowing the secret key is required when authentication is enabled. No patch is currently available for this medium-severity vulnerability.

OSPF protocol of Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Cisco Secure FTD Software is affected by buffer overflow (CVSS 6.8).

Memory exhaustion in Cisco ASA and FTD OSPF protocol implementation allows adjacent authenticated attackers to trigger denial of service by sending specially crafted packets that bypass input validation. An attacker with network access to the affected device can exploit improper packet parsing to consume available memory and crash the appliance. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.
