The Common Internet File System (CIFS) optimization in Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) 4.0.7 and 4.0.9, as used by Cisco WAE appliance and the NM-WAE-502 network module, when Edge Services are configured, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of service) via a flood of TCP SYN packets to port (1) 139 or (2) 445.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can let a remote attacker disrupt Cisco WAAS file-sharing optimization services by overwhelming exposed CIFS-related ports when Edge Services are enabled. The provided sources describe service loss, not data theft or code execution. Exposure is most likely where legacy Cisco WAAS 4.0.7 or 4.0.9 systems still run Edge Services and accept traffic to TCP 139 or 445 from untrusted or broad network ranges. Treat this as a legacy infrastructure availability risk. Prioritize remediation if WAAS still supports business file access across WAN links, especially where SMB/CIFS ports are broadly reachable. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco’s vendor advisory for fixed software or supported workarounds.; Restrict TCP 139 and 445 access to trusted internal sources only.; Disable Edge Services where they are not operationally required..
