CVE-2016-9193: A vulnerability in the malicious file detection and blocking features of Cisco Firepower Management Center...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Cisco Firepower Management Center and FireSIGHT deployments using a file policy with the Block Malware action. A remote unauthenticated attacker could bypass malware detection, meaning malicious files may pass a control that operators expect to block them. Exposure is likely limited to Cisco Firepower Management Center or FireSIGHT systems on affected releases where file policies use the Block Malware action. The bundle does not identify other affected Cisco products or configurations. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or high-throughput inspection deployments because the affected control may fail silently. Business urgency depends on whether Cisco FMC or FireSIGHT is deployed with Block Malware policies. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20161207-firepower and CSCvb27494 guidance.; Identify FMC or FireSIGHT systems running releases 6.0.1.1 or 6.1.0.; Prioritize vendor-recommended software updates or configuration guidance..
