Cisco IOS Software SSL VPN Denial of Service Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20140326-ios-sslvpn

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2014 March 26 16:00  UTC (GMT)

Summary
=======

A vulnerability in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN subsystem of Cisco IOS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.

The vulnerability is due to a failure to process certain types of HTTP requests. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could submit crafted requests designed to consume memory to an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to consume and fragment memory on the affected device. This may cause reduced performance, a failure of certain processes, or a restart of the affected device.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability.
There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability.
