  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"A vulnerability in the Internet Key Exchange version 1 (IKEv1) feature
of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco
Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger a reload of an affected
device, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The
vulnerability is due to improper management of system memory. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious IKEv1
traffic to an affected device. The attacker does not need valid
credentials to authenticate the VPN session, nor does the attacker's
source address need to match a peer statement in the crypto map
applied to the ingress interface of the affected device. An exploit
could allow the attacker to exhaust system memory resources, leading
to a reload of an affected device.
