Summary
o Multiple Cisco products are affected by vulnerabilities in the Snort
detection engine that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
bypass a configured file policy for HTTP.
These vulnerabilities are due to incorrect handling of specific HTTP header
parameters. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending
crafted HTTP packets through an affected device. A successful exploit could
allow the attacker to bypass a configured file policy for HTTP packets and
deliver a malicious payload.
Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
