"value": "Una vulnerabilidad en la biblioteca Transport Layer Security (TLS) de Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software y Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software podría permitir que un atacante remoto no autenticado desencadene una recarga del dispositivo afectado, lo que resulta en una denegación de servicio (DoS). Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a una validación insuficiente de las entradas realizadas por el usuario. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un mensaje TLS malicioso a una interfaz habilitada para los servicios SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) en un dispositivo afectado. Los mensajes que empleen la versión 3 (SSLv3) o la versión 2 (SSLv2) de SSL no pueden emplearse para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. Su explotación podría permitir que el atacante provoque un subdesbordamiento de búfer, desencadenando un cierre inesperado en el dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones de Cisco ASA Software y Cisco FTD Software que se ejecutan en los siguientes productos de Cisco: Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv), Firepower Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) y Firepower 2100 Series Security Appliance. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve18902, CSCve34335, CSCve38446."
