Multiple Cisco Products Snort TCP Fast Open File Policy Bypass Vulnerability
Priority: Medium
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-snort-tfo-bypass-MmzZrtes
First Published: 2021 January 13 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final

Summary
o Multiple Cisco products are affected by a vulnerability with TCP Fast Open
(TFO) when used in conjunction with the Snort detection engine that could
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass a configured file
policy for HTTP.
The vulnerability is due to incorrect detection of the HTTP payload if it
is contained at least partially within the TFO connection handshake. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted TFO packets
with an HTTP payload through an affected device. A successful exploit could
allow the attacker to bypass configured file policy for HTTP packets and
deliver a malicious payload.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
