Cisco Wide Area Application Services SMART-SSL Accelerator Denial of Service Vulnerability

cisco-sa-20170503-waas · Medium · Published 9 years ago · Updated 9 years ago

A vulnerability in SMART-SSL Accelerator functionality for Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition where the WAN optimization could stop functioning while the process restarts. The vulnerability is due to a Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) alert being incorrectly handled when in a specific SSL/TLS connection state. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by establishing a SMART-SSL connection through the targeted device. The attacker would then send a crafted stream of SSL/TLS traffic. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition where WAN optimization could stop processing traffic for a short period of time. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
