A vulnerability in the email message filtering feature of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Email
Security Appliances could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service
(DoS) condition on an affected device.

The vulnerability exists because the message filtering feature of the affected software does not
properly validate compressed message attachments that contain malformed Design (DGN) files. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email message, which has a compressed
attachment containing a malformed DGN file, through an affected device. While the affected software
filters the attachment, memory could be consumed at a high rate and ultimately exhausted, causing
the filtering process to restart and resulting in a DoS condition. After the filtering process
restarts, the software resumes filtering for the same attachment, causing the filtering process to
exhaust memory and restart again. A successful exploit of this vulnerability could allow the
attacker to cause a repeated DoS condition.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that
address this vulnerability.
