Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) 5500 series devices with software 8.2 and 8.4, when SIP inspection is enabled, create many identical pre-allocated secondary pinholes, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted SIP traffic, aka Bug ID CSCtz63143.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can let crafted SIP traffic make certain Cisco ASA 5500 firewalls consume excessive CPU. The business risk is disruption: a perimeter security device handling VoIP-related traffic could become overloaded when SIP inspection is enabled. Exposure is likely limited to Cisco ASA 5500 deployments on ASA 8.2 or 8.4 where SIP inspection is enabled, especially devices processing SIP traffic from untrusted networks. Handle as a targeted availability risk to legacy Cisco firewall environments. Prioritize validation if these ASAs protect voice services, internet edges, or critical network segments. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco ASA 5500 devices and identify ASA 8.2 or 8.4 deployments.; Check whether SIP inspection is enabled on potentially exposed ASA devices.; Review Cisco release notes and vendor guidance for fixed software or supported workarounds..
