Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can make older Cisco ASA 5500 firewalls stop handling traffic by exhausting internal blocks after problematic EIGRP traffic causes a multicast storm. The business risk is availability: affected perimeter or routing-adjacent firewalls could disrupt connectivity if exposed to the triggering traffic. Exposure is most likely on legacy Cisco ASA 5500 deployments running ASA software 8.2(3) or earlier where EIGRP traffic can reach the device. Organizations without these older appliances, or without relevant EIGRP exposure, are less likely to be affected. Treat this as a targeted legacy-infrastructure availability risk. Prioritize if ASA 5500 firewalls still protect important network paths and can receive EIGRP traffic. The urgency is lower where affected versions are absent or EIGRP exposure is ruled out. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco ASA 5500 devices and record ASA software versions.; Check Cisco guidance and release notes for bug CSCtf20269 remediation.; Upgrade or retire affected ASA software following Cisco-supported paths..
