Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-1150 affects Cisco ASA firewalls running vulnerable ASA Software releases. A remote attacker could send a crafted URL to the authentication-proxy implementation and force the device to reload, disrupting firewall availability and dependent network services. Exposure is most likely where Cisco ASA devices run vulnerable software and use or expose authentication-proxy functionality. Internet-facing or externally reachable ASA services raise operational risk because the impact is device reload and service interruption. Treat as a priority availability risk for affected Cisco ASA firewalls, especially perimeter devices. There is no supplied evidence of active exploitation, but a forced firewall reload can interrupt business traffic and security controls. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco ASA devices and record ASA Software versions.; Compare versions against Cisco’s fixed release thresholds.; Follow Cisco advisory guidance for fixed software or supported upgrade paths..
