CWE-358

Summary

  * A vulnerability in the Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) file filtering
    feature of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA)
    could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass a configured AMP
    file filtering rule. The file types affected are zipped or archived file
    types.

    The vulnerability is due to incorrect and different file hash values when
    AMP scans the file. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending
    a crafted email file attachment through the targeted device. An exploit
    could allow the attacker to bypass a configured AMP file filter.

    There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
