CVE-2017-3822: A vulnerability in the logging subsystem of the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Firepower Device Manag...

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco FTD 6.1.x systems using Firepower Device Manager could let an unauthenticated remote attacker insert false audit log entries. The sources describe audit-log integrity impact, not device takeover or data theft. The business risk is reduced confidence in security records during investigations. Exposure is likely limited to organizations running Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software 6.1.x with FDM enabled on the listed ASA5506-X, ASA5508-X, ASA5516-X, ASA5512-X, ASA5515-X, ASA5525-X, ASA5545-X, or ASA5555-X platforms. Handle during normal vulnerability remediation unless these devices are internet-exposed or central to regulated audit evidence. Escalate if audit logs are used for incident response, compliance reporting, or security investigations. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco FTD deployments and identify any 6.1.x systems using FDM.; Prioritize listed ASA 5500-X platforms where FDM is enabled.; Upgrade affected systems to Cisco FTD 6.2.0 or later fixed guidance..
