"According to its self-reported version, Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software is affected by a vulnerability.
- A vulnerability in the Remote Access VPN (RAVPN) service of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA)
Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
to cause a denial of service (DoS) of the RAVPN service. This vulnerability is due to resource exhaustion.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large number of VPN authentication requests to
an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust resources, resulting in a DoS
of the RAVPN service on the affected device. Depending on the impact of the attack, a reload of the device
may be required to restore the RAVPN service. Services that are not related to VPN are not affected. Cisco
Talos discussed these attacks in the blog post Large-scale brute-force activity targeting VPNs, SSH
services with commonly used login credentials. (CVE-2024-20481)
Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.");
