Title:Cisco ASA OSPF LSA Manipulation Vulnerability (cisco-sa-20170727-ospf)
Summary:Cisco ASA is affected by a vulnerability involving the Open; Shortest Path First (OSPF) Routing Protocol Link State Advertisement (LSA) database. This; vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to take full control of the OSPF; Autonomous System (AS) domain routing table, allowing the attacker to intercept or black-hole; traffic.
Description:Summary:
Cisco ASA is affected by a vulnerability involving the Open
Shortest Path First (OSPF) Routing Protocol Link State Advertisement (LSA) database. This
vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to take full control of the OSPF
Autonomous System (AS) domain routing table, allowing the attacker to intercept or black-hole
traffic.

Vulnerability Insight:
The attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting
crafted OSPF packets. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must accurately determine
certain parameters within the LSA database on the target router. This vulnerability can only be
triggered by sending crafted unicast or multicast OSPF LSA type 1 packets. No other LSA type
packets can trigger this vulnerability.

OSPFv3 is not affected by this vulnerability. Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) protocol is not
affected by this vulnerability.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation could cause the targeted router to flush
its routing table and propagate the crafted OSPF LSA type 1 update throughout the OSPF AS domain.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution.

CVSS Score:
4.0
