Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service
(DoS) condition due to link saturation.");

destination server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending multiple crafted HTTP requests to the
targeted device.");

downloads for the same HTTP data. This could cause a DoS condition due to heavy traffic on the connection to the
server.");
