Security readout for executives and security teams
This vulnerability can let a remote unauthenticated attacker disrupt an affected Cisco Firepower 2100 security appliance. Malicious fragmented IPv4 or IPv6 traffic can make Snort processes hang at full CPU, potentially stopping traffic inspection or forwarding until the device is manually reloaded. Exposure is limited to Cisco Firepower 2100 Series appliances running FTD Software releases 6.2.1 or 6.2.2. Devices receiving untrusted fragmented IPv4 or IPv6 traffic are the relevant concern. Treat this as high priority where affected appliances protect critical network paths. The main business risk is loss of traffic processing on a security gateway, potentially requiring manual recovery and causing outage impact. Mitigation focus: Inventory Firepower 2100 appliances and identify FTD Software versions.; Check Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20180418-fp2100 for vendor-supported fixes or workarounds.; Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or high-throughput inspection points..
