Cisco Web Security Appliance HTTP Length Denial of Service Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20160518-wsa3

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2016 May 18 16:00 UTC (GMT)

+---------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

A vulnerability in HTTP request parsing in Cisco AsyncOS for the Cisco Web 
Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to 
cause a denial of service (DoS) condition when the proxy process unexpectedly 
restarts.

The vulnerability occurs because the affected software does not properly 
allocate space for the HTTP header and any expected HTTP payload. An attacker 
could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the 
affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition 
when the proxy process unexpectedly reloads, which can cause traffic to be 
dropped.

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