"A vulnerability in the detection engine of Cisco Adaptive Security
Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD)
Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to send
data directly to the kernel of an affected device. The vulnerability
exists because the software improperly filters Ethernet frames sent to
an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
sending crafted packets to the management interface of an affected
device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass the
Layer 2 (L2) filters and send data directly to the kernel of the
affected device. A malicious frame successfully delivered would make
the target device generate a specific syslog entry.
