Title:Cisco ASA DHCPv6 Relay DoS Vulnerability (cisco-sa-20150115-asa-dhcp)
Summary:A vulnerability in the DHCPv6 relay feature of Cisco ASA may; lead to a denial of service.
Description:Summary:
A vulnerability in the DHCPv6 relay feature of Cisco ASA may
lead to a denial of service.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability in the DHCPv6 relay feature could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. The vulnerability is due
to insufficient validation of DHCPv6 packets. Cisco ASA Software is affected by this
vulnerability only if the software is configured with the DHCPv6 relay feature. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted DHCPv6 packets to an affected device. Only DHCPv6
packets directed to the Cisco ASA interface where the DHCPv6 relay feature is enabled can be used
to trigger this vulnerability.

Vulnerability Impact:
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could cause the system to
reload.

Affected Software/OS:
Version 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 on Cisco Adaptive Security
Virtual Appliance (ASAv), Cisco ASA 1000V Cloud Firewall, Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security
Appliances, Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Next-Generation Firewalls and Cisco ASA Services Module for
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers.

Solution:
Apply the appropriate updates from Cisco. As a workaround
disable the DHCPv6 relay feature.

CVSS Score:
5.7
