Yes, in fact yesterday while running the WAP discovery NASL, we downed a
PIX 525 running IOS 6.22.140. Our team is currently working with Cisco
to determine exactly why this happens as well as getting a patch from
the vendor.

Subject: Denial of service against network equipments?


I'd like to know if anybody has crashed network equipments (firewall,
routers, load balancers) while  running a Nessus scan. I had bad
experiences with stateful devices. I did not scan those devices
directly: they were just on the way between the Nessus daemon and the
target machine(s).

Although I cannot be 100% sure, I suspect that "stream.nasl" is
responsible.
