Denial of Service Vulnerability in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance and PIX

CVE-2008-2058

Summary

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service on Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Cisco PIX security appliance. By executing a port scan against TCP port 443, attackers may cause the device to reload, potentially disrupting network services and exposing connected systems to further security risks. This affects specific versions of Cisco ASA and PIX, which require updates to mitigate such risks.
