Cisco Firepower Threat Defense 1000 Series Bleichenbacher Attack (cisco-sa-asaftd-tls-bb-2g9uWkP)
low Nessus Plugin ID 149471
Language:
Synopsis
The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patchDescription
According to its self-reported version, the TLS handler of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software for Cisco Firepower 1000 Series firewalls is affected by the Bleichenbacher attack vulnerability due to improper implementation of countermeasures against the Bleichenbacher attack for cipher suites that rely on RSA for key exchange. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by sending crafted TLS messages to the device, which would act as an oracle and allow the attacker to carry out a chosen-ciphertext attack. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform cryptanalytic operations that may allow decryption of previously captured TLS sessions to the affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be able to capture TLS traffic that is in transit between clients and the affected device, and actively establish a considerable number of TLS connections to the affected device.Please see the included Cisco BID and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
