Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software and Firepower Threat Defense
Software SNMP Denial of Service Vulnerability
Priority: High
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-asaftd-snmp-dos-qsqBNM6x
First Published: 2022 November 9 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCwb05148
CVE Names: CVE-2022-20924
CWEs: CWE-703
Summary
o A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature of
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat
Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to
cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted SNMP request to an
affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the
affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-asaftd-snmp-dos-qsqBNM6x
This advisory is part of the November 2022 release of the Cisco ASA, FTD,
and FMC Security Advisory Bundled publication. For a complete list of the
advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: November 2022
Semiannual Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software Security Advisory Bundled
Publication .
Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability affects Cisco ASA Software and Cisco FTD Software if
they have remote SNMP management enabled.
For information about which Cisco software releases are vulnerable, see the
Fixed Software section of this advisory.
Determine Whether SNMP is Enabled
To determine if SNMP is enabled on a device, do one of the following
options.
Option 1: Use the CLI
Use the show running-config snmp-server command. This option works for both
Cisco ASA Software and Cisco FTD Software.
If the output includes an snmp-server entry, the system is affected by this
vulnerability, regardless of which version of SNMP is configured. The
following example shows the output for a device that has SNMP access
configured for SNMP Version 2c:
ASA# show running-config snmp-server
snmp-server host mgmt 10.10.10.10 community snmpro version 2c
ASA#
Option 2: Use the Cisco Firepower Management Center GUI
For Cisco FTD devices that are managed by Cisco Firepower Management Center
(FMC) Software, do the following:
1. Log in to Cisco FMC.
2. Choose Devices > Platform Settings .
3. Choose a policy object to review.
4. In the left-hand column, choose SNMP .
If the Enable SNMP Servers check box is checked and there are entries on
the Hosts tab, devices that have the selected policy deployed are
vulnerable.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
are known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect the following
Cisco products:
FMC Software
Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) Software
Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
described in this advisory. Customers with service contracts that entitle
them to regular software updates should obtain security fixes through their
usual update channels.
Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and
feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By installing,
downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades,
customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html
Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a
valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized
reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to
software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do
not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software
feature sets, or major revision upgrades.
The Cisco Support and Downloads page on Cisco.com provides information
about licensing and downloads. This page can also display customer device
support coverage for customers who use the My Devices tool.
When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
Cisco Security Advisories page , to determine exposure and a complete
upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
providers.
Customers Without Service Contracts
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service
contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but
are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale
should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c
/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html
Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared
to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free
upgrade.
Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software
To help customers determine their exposure to vulnerabilities in Cisco ASA,
FMC, and FTD Software, Cisco provides the Cisco Software Checker . This
tool identifies any Cisco security advisories that impact a specific
software release and the earliest release that fixes the vulnerabilities
that are described in each advisory ("First Fixed"). If applicable, the
tool also returns the earliest release that fixes all the vulnerabilities
that are described in all the advisories that the Software Checker
identifies ("Combined First Fixed").
To use the tool, go to the Cisco Software Checker page and follow the
instructions. Alternatively, use the following form to search for
vulnerabilities that affect a specific software release. To use the form,
follow these steps:
1. Choose which advisories the tool will search-all advisories, only
advisories with a Critical or High Security Impact Rating (SIR) , or
only this advisory.
2. Choose the appropriate software.
3. Choose the appropriate platform.
4. Enter a release number-for example, 9.16.2.11 for Cisco ASA Software or
6.6.7 for Cisco FTD Software.
5. Click Check .
For instructions on upgrading your FTD device, see Cisco Firepower
Management Center Upgrade Guide .
