Summary

A security flaw in the SSL Decryption and Inspection feature of Cisco Firepower System Software can enable attackers to bypass SSL policies. This vulnerability arises from unexpected interactions between configuration settings related to Known Key and Decrypt and Resign when the software processes abnormal SSL packet headers. By sending a specially crafted SSL packet through a valid session, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can evade the decryption and inspection controls intended to scrutinize network traffic, potentially compromising the integrity of network security measures.
