"A vulnerability in the remote access SSL VPN features of Cisco
Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat
Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to improper validation of errors that are
logged as a result of client connections that are made using remote
access VPN. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending
crafted requests to an affected system. A successful exploit could
allow the attacker to cause the affected device to restart, resulting
in a DoS condition.
