A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN feature of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software due to incorrect handling of Base64-encoded strings. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via opening many SSL VPN sessions to an affected device, to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition that prevents the creation of new SSL/Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections to an affected device.
