"A vulnerability in the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) implementation
of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco
Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an
unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a reload of an affected
device, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The
vulnerability exists because the affected software improperly parses
certain options in OSPF link-state advertisement (LSA) type 11
packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a
crafted LSA type 11 OSPF packet to an affected device. A successful
exploit could allow the attacker to cause a reload of the affected
device, resulting in a DoS condition for client traffic that is
traversing the device.
