CVE-2025-20127
Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.7)—
A vulnerability in the TLS 1.3 implementation for a specific cipher for Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software for Cisco Firepower 3100 and 4200 Series devices could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to consume resources that are associated with incoming TLS 1.3 connections, which eventually could cause the device to stop accepting any new SSL/TLS or VPN requests.
This vulnerability is due to the implementation of the TLS 1.3 Cipher TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large number of TLS 1.3 connections with the specific TLS 1.3 Cipher TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition where no new incoming encrypted connections are accepted. The device must be reloaded to clear this condition. Note: These incoming TLS 1.3 connections include both data traffic and user-management traffic. After the device is in the vulnerable state, no new encrypted connections can be accepted.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad en la implementación de TLS 1.3 para un cifrado específico del software Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) y del software Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) para dispositivos Cisco Firepower de las series 3100 y 4200 podría permitir que un atacante remoto autenticado consuma recursos asociados con conexiones entrantes TLS 1.3, lo que eventualmente podría provocar que el dispositivo deje de aceptar nuevas solicitudes SSL/TLS o VPN. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a la implementación del cifrado TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 de TLS 1.3. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un gran número de conexiones TLS 1.3 con el cifrado TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256. Una explotación exitosa podría permitir al atacante causar una denegación de servicio (DoS) donde no se aceptan nuevas conexiones cifradas entrantes. El dispositivo debe reiniciarse para solucionar esta situación. Nota: Estas conexiones entrantes TLS 1.3 incluyen tanto tráfico de datos como de administración de usuarios. Una vez que el dispositivo se encuentra en estado vulnerable, no se pueden aceptar nuevas conexiones cifradas."
