CVE-2023-20270
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.8)—
A vulnerability in the interaction between the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol preprocessor and the Snort 3 detection engine for Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the configured policies or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper error-checking when the Snort 3 detection engine is processing SMB traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted SMB packet stream through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Snort process to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.

Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a una verificación de errores incorrecta cuando el motor de detección de Snort 3 procesa el tráfico SMB. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un flujo de paquetes SMB manipulado a través de un dispositivo afectado. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante hacer que el proceso Snort se recargue, lo que resultaría en una condición DoS."
