"A vulnerability in the OSPF Version 2 (OSPFv2) implementation of Cisco
Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat
Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
to cause an affected device to reload, resulting in a denial of
service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input
validation when the affected software processes certain OSPFv2 packets
with Link-Local Signaling (LLS) data. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending a malformed OSPFv2 packet to an affected
device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an
affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
