CVE-2016-6449: A vulnerability in the system management of certain FireAMP system processes in Cisco FireAMP Connector End...

A vulnerability in the system management of certain FireAMP system processes in Cisco FireAMP Connector Endpoint software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to stop certain protected FireAMP processes without requiring a password. Stopping certain critical processes could cause a denial of service (DoS) condition, and certain security features could no longer be available. More Information: CSCvb40597. Known Affected Releases: 1.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco FireAMP Connector Endpoint could let a logged-in local attacker stop protected FireAMP processes without a password. That can create a denial-of-service condition and leave endpoint security features unavailable. The provided sources do not include CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is limited to systems running affected Cisco FireAMP Connector Endpoint software where an attacker already has local authenticated access. The source bundle lists affected release information only as “Known Affected Releases: 1,” so exact version scope is incomplete. Treat as a targeted endpoint hardening issue, not a confirmed internet-scale emergency. Prioritize environments where local compromise or insider misuse is plausible, because the vulnerability can disable endpoint protection after authentication. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20161207-fireamp for fixed or unaffected versions.; Inventory endpoints running Cisco FireAMP Connector Endpoint software.; Prioritize remediation on shared workstations and high-risk endpoints..
