CVE-2014-2146

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.5)—

The Zone-Based Firewall (ZBFW) functionality in Cisco IOS, possibly 15.4 and earlier, and IOS XE, possibly 3.13 and earlier, mishandles zone checking for existing sessions, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended resource-access restrictions via spoofed traffic that matches one of these sessions, aka Bug IDs CSCun94946 and CSCun96847.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
