Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software SIP DoS (cisco-sa-asaftd-sipdos-3DGvdjvg)

high Nessus Plugin ID 149355

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

According to its self-reported version, the SIP inspection process of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software is affected by denial of service vulnerability due to a watchdog timeout and crash during the cleanup of threads that are associated with a SIP connection that is being deleted from the connection list. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by sending a high rate of crafted SIP traffic through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a watchdog timeout and crash, resulting in a crash and reload of the affected device.

Please see the included Cisco BID and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug ID CSCvu15801
