Summary
o A vulnerability in the ingress packet processing path of Cisco Firepower
Threat Defense (FTD) Software for interfaces that are configured either as
Inline Pair or in Passive mode could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent
attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation when Ethernet frames
are processed. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending
malicious Ethernet frames through an affected device. A successful exploit
could allow the attacker do either of the following:
Fill the /ngfw partition on the device: A full /ngfw partition could
result in administrators being unable to log in to the device
(including logging in through the console port) or the device being
unable to boot up correctly. Note: Manual intervention is required to
recover from this situation. Customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to help recover a device in this
condition.
Cause a process crash: The process crash would cause the device to
reload. No manual intervention is necessary to recover the device after
the reload.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

This advisory is part of the October 2020 Cisco ASA, FMC, and FTD Software
Security Advisory Bundled Publication, which includes 17 Cisco Security
Advisories that describe 17 vulnerabilities. For a complete list of the
advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: October 2020 Cisco
ASA, FMC, and FTD Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication .
Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability affects Cisco products if they are running a vulnerable
release of Cisco FTD Software with an interface that is configured in at
least one of the following modes:
Inline Pair
Inline Pair with Tap
Passive
Passive (ERSPAN)
For information about which Cisco software releases are vulnerable, see the
Fixed Software section of this advisory.
Determine Whether Inline Pairs are Configured
The checks in this section cover both Inline Pairs and Inline Pairs with
Tap.
Option 1: Use the CLI
Use the show inline-set CLI command. If that command returns at least one
Interface-Pair , the device is vulnerable. If the output is empty or the
command does not exist, the device is not vulnerable. The following example
shows the output of a device with an Inline Pair that has interfaces
Ethernet1/6 and Ethernet1/8 configured:
> show inline-set
Inline-set Inline-Pair-1
Mtu is 1500 bytes
Failsafe mode is on/activated
Failsecure mode is off
Tap mode is off
Propagate-link-state option is on
hardware-bypass mode is disabled
Interface-Pair[1]:
Interface: Ethernet1/6 "INSIDE"
Current-Status: UP
Interface: Ethernet1/8 "OUTSIDE"
Current-Status: UP
Bridge Group ID: 509
>
Option 2: Use the Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) GUI
Choose Devices > Device Management > [Edit Device] > Inline Sets and verify
whether any Interface Pairs are configured.
Note: Inline Sets cannot be configured using Cisco Firepower Device Manager
(FDM).
Determine Whether Passive Interfaces are Configured
The checks in this section cover both Passive and Passive (ERSPAN)
interfaces.
Option 1: Use the CLI
Access the Lina CLI by using the system support diagnostic-cli command.
Then, use the show running-config interface | include mode passive command.
If that command returns output, at least one passive interface is
configured and the device is vulnerable. If that command returns empty
output, the device is not vulnerable. The following example shows the
output of the show running-config interface | include mode passive command
on a device that has one passive interface configured:
ftd# show running-config interface | include mode passive
mode passive
Option 2: Use the Cisco FMC GUI or FDM GUI
In the Cisco FMC GUI, choose Devices > Device Management > [Edit Device] >
Interfaces > [Edit Physical Interface] and verify whether any interfaces
are set to Passive mode.
In the Cisco FDM GUI, choose Device > Interfaces > [Edit Physical
Interface] and verify whether any interfaces are set to Passive mode. If
the Mode drop-down menu does not exist, passive interfaces cannot be
configured on the platform and the device is not vulnerable.

Summary
o A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) input
packet processor of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to
restart unexpectedly.
The vulnerability is due to a lack of sufficient memory management
protections under heavy SNMP polling loads. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending a high rate of SNMP requests to the SNMP daemon
through the management interface on an affected device. A successful
exploit could allow the attacker to cause the SNMP daemon process to
consume a large amount of system memory over time, which could then lead to
an unexpected device restart, causing a denial of service (DoS) condition.
This vulnerability affects all versions of SNMP.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software TCP Intercept Bypass Vulnerability
Priority: Medium
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-tcp-intercept-bypass-xG9M3PbY
First Published: 2020 October 21 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvr53058
CVE-2020-3565
CWE-284
Summary
o A vulnerability in the TCP Intercept functionality of Cisco Firepower
Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote
attacker to bypass configured Access Control Policies (including
Geolocation) and Service Polices on an affected system.
The vulnerability exists because TCP Intercept is invoked when the
embryonic connection limit is reached, which can cause the underlying
detection engine to process the packet incorrectly. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted stream of traffic that
matches a policy on which TCP Intercept is configured. A successful exploit
could allow the attacker to match on an incorrect policy, which could allow
the traffic to be forwarded when it should be dropped. In addition, the
traffic could incorrectly be dropped.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/
cisco-sa-tcp-intercept-bypass-xG9M3PbY
Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected Cisco FTD Software
releases earlier than 6.4.0.8, 6.5.0.4, and 6.6.0 if TCP Intercept is
configured.
See the Details section in the bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory for
the most complete and current information.
Determine Whether TCP Intercept is Configured
In the Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) GUI, choose Access Control >
Access Control > Threat Defense Policy (for the rule) and check if there is
a value configured for Connections > Maximum Embryonic and Connections Per
Client > Maximum Embryonic .
For additional information, see Threat Defense Service Policies .
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
are known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect Cisco Adaptive
Security Appliance (ASA) Software or Cisco Firepower Management Center
(FMC) Software.
Details
o By default, there are no limits on how many connections can go to or
through a Cisco FTD device. To protect servers from denial of service (DoS)
attacks, administrators can use policy rules to set limits on particular
traffic classes. Specifically, setting limits on embryonic connections
(those that have not finished the TCP handshake), will protect against SYN
flooding attacks. When embryonic connection limits are exceeded, the TCP
Intercept component gets involved to proxy connections and ensure that
attacks are throttled.
For additional information, see Protect Servers from a SYN Flood DoS Attack
(TCP Intercept) .
Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
o When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
Cisco Security Advisories page , to determine exposure and a complete
upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
providers.
