CVE-2019-1978    

CWE-264

CVSS Score:
5.8  AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:X/RL:X/RC:X

Summary

  o A vulnerability in the stream reassembly component of Cisco Firepower
    Threat Defense Software, Cisco FirePOWER Services Software for ASA, and
    Cisco Firepower Management Center Software could allow an unauthenticated,
    remote attacker to bypass filtering protections.

    The vulnerability is due to improper reassembly of traffic streams. An
    attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted streams
    through an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to bypass
    filtering and deliver malicious requests to protected systems that would
    otherwise be blocked.

    There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software Nonstandard Protocol Detection Bypass
Vulnerability

Priority:        Medium

Advisory ID:     cisco-sa-20190816-ftd-nspd

CVE-2019-1980    

CWE-264

CVSS Score:
5.8  AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:X/RL:X/RC:X

Summary

  o A vulnerability in the protocol detection component of Cisco Firepower
    Threat Defense Software, Cisco FirePOWER Services Software for ASA, and
    Cisco Firepower Management Center Software could allow an unauthenticated,
    remote attacker to bypass filtering protections.

    The vulnerability is due to improper detection of the initial use of a
    protocol on a nonstandard port. An attacker could exploit this
    vulnerability by sending traffic on a nonstandard port for the protocol in
    use through an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to
    bypass filtering and deliver malicious requests to protected systems that
    would otherwise be blocked. Once the initial protocol flow on the
    nonstandard port is detected, future flows on the nonstandard port will be
    successfully detected and handled as configured by the applied policy.

    There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

CWE-264

CVSS Score:
5.8  AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:X/RL:X/RC:X

Summary

  o A vulnerability in the normalization functionality of Cisco Firepower
    Threat Defense Software, Cisco FirePOWER Services Software for ASA, and
    Cisco Firepower Management Center Software could allow an unauthenticated,
    remote attacker to bypass filtering protections.

    The vulnerability is due to insufficient normalization of a text-based
    payload. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending traffic
    that contains specifically obfuscated payloads through an affected device.
    An exploit could allow the attacker to bypass filtering and deliver
    malicious payloads to protected systems that would otherwise be blocked.

    There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

CWE-264

CVSS Score:
5.8  AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:X/RL:X/RC:X

Summary

  o A vulnerability in the HTTP traffic filtering component of Cisco Firepower
    Threat Defense Software, Cisco FirePOWER Services Software for ASA, and
    Cisco Firepower Management Center Software could allow an unauthenticated,
    remote attacker to bypass filtering protections.

    The vulnerability is due to improper handling of HTTP requests, including
    those communicated over a secure HTTPS connection, that contain maliciously
    crafted headers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending
    malicious requests to an affected device. An exploit could allow the
    attacker to bypass filtering and deliver malicious requests to protected
    systems, allowing attackers to deliver malicious content that would
    otherwise be blocked.

    There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
