According to its self-reported version, Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) handler of Cisco FTD Software. This vulnerability is due to improper memory management when a device initiates SSL/TLS connections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by ensuring that the device will connect to an SSL/TLS server that is using specific encryption parameters. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to unexpectedly reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
